Yer gonna get some fizzing TB 303, hip busting EBM and some dystopian 80s industrial vides - there shall be dancing around a table full of machines.

Celebration Of Life For Julie Morand-Ferron (1977-2022)
uOttawa Biology Professor, Mom & synth pop musician (Violence). We celebrate Julie’s life through performances by artists that were dear to her.

Those who knew Julie know how much she wanted to see the people she loved come to fruition, have projects, realize their full potential. This manifested in her role as a professor and supervisor at the university of course, but also in her personal life and as an artist. She took great pleasure in seeing her friends take up challenges, create things. It is in this spirit that we have decided to organize this musical celebration in her memory.

With our musical projects (011, Violence)

over the years through concerts and collaborations we have had the chance to get to know artists whose work we admired and who have become friends and accomplices of creations, dreams, and party’s.

We invite you on August 25th to come and celebrate Julie's life and memory with us in the company of people who were significant to her. The concert is open to everyone, and it is an opportunity for the community to fraternize in order to activate potentialities from which, we hope, will be born fertile discussions, stimulating encounters and the sparks of future creations, in short, a luminous evening like Julie. - Éric Trottier
