Yeah, I float between Montreal and Ottawa. I maintain a home in each city.
I found Montreal a VERY difficult city to break into in terms of securing gigs. It's all who you know, not what you can do. I'm bitter towards that place in a few ways.
I love the Deps
I love the females
I love the music scene (to go dance)
I hate the smoking in bars / restos
I hate the language politics
I hate the music scene (to find a gig)
Go figure.

- le francais, c'est coule!

Oui, d'accord. Je n'ai pas dit que je deteste le francais, j'ai dit qui je deteste le politique de langue. Il y a un gros differance. Je connais les anglos et les francos aussi qui ont les opinions problematique pour le cohabitation des cultures dans un etat tranquille et amicable.Benshik wrote: - le francais, c'est coule!
Again, my point wasn't that the music scene sucks - It's great for going out. The music scene is terrible to break into and try to establish yourself as a new performer. It's very clique oriented - if you're not "in" with the right crowds you'll never get a gig.Benshik wrote:- for a city of this size, I think the Montreal scene rocks!!!
I would tend to agree... but you can always play on thursday at SAT..... have you tried?M. Bréqs wrote:

I haven't tried there... However, these days I live in Ottawa, (moved just recently) and it's really a positive enviroment for live electronic music performance. Wierd.WaveRider wrote:I would tend to agree... but you can always play on thursday at SAT..... have you tried?M. Bréqs wrote:

I'll try to get in touch with some folks at SAT and see what the deal is. Have you got a link?
Thanks for the advice!
By the way, Waverider, are you the fella I met in Montreal with the mega-Sherman filterbank?

Oh, I'm glad I found this! I moved to Montreal a year and a half ago, and I love it!!
I've been using Live now for a few months... funny thing is, I have nothing to do with DJ'ing or such, so I'm using it more as a traditional sequencer/DAW. I have to say, there are some things I miss, but it's working fine for my current needs.
Say, anyone here in favor of getting a Montreal users group going?
