Sam Shalabi brought an unsuspected mood to the night, using mostly electronics. Philémon’s use of an amplified metal box, added to A_dontigny’s distorted cd skipping and Érick Dorion’s signature audiomulch cataclysm, blended Shalabi’s melancholic bleeps to form a dense and warm tapestry of noise. Live at the Casa del Popolo, April 2002. Photography by Esther B.
For almost 10 years, the québécois collective Napalm Jazz gets its hands dirty with its unorthodox approaches to improv. Ever since its beginnings at CKIA radio (Québec City) where the group performed every Sunday, their work has sprouted plenty of projects such as morceaux_de_machines. → Full bio
Sam Shalabi is a central node in Montréal’s free improv scene. One cannot count the many projects he is a part of. He is best known as a founding member of Shalabi Effect, who have recorded 2 albums on Alien8 Recordings which have earned the band extremely good response from critics and music enthusiasts alike. Apart from Shalabi Effect, he is also part of a number of bands, among which Detention, Molasses, Balai Mécanique, Po, ’Gypt Gore, and a trio with David Kristian and Alexandre St-Onge. He is also known for three solo albums, Luteness (Squint Fucker Press, deleted), On Haschisch (Alien8), and of course Osama, his investigation of arabophobia in a "post-9-11 world". His style ranges from freeform psychedelic rock to the most oddball abstract performance. Although mostly known as a guitarist, the highly versatile Shalabi also performs on oud and a variety of other instruments. → Full bio
