Second act of a journey between odd times and asynchronous rhythms. A comparison between man and machine to overcome repetitiveness. A mixer at work with the absence of any inputs and the dutiful memory of Mr. Damo, this evening at Sentieri.Sonori.
On Friday, February 12, 2024, Sentieri. Sonori aired tracks from my latest albums Euphonious Noise and Euphonious Noise - Vol. 2, electro noise created using the no input mixer technique. Featured tracks were Kushtaka, The Light Beings and Fill your Imagination.

In celebration of the 2024 Leap Year, I am pleased to publish ENV#12 - The Light Beings, track 12 on Euphonious Music - Vol. 2, released October 4, 2023. In keeping with the integrity of the projekt, I produced Vol. 2 using the no input mixer technique. Enjoy and thanks for listening!
A moment in time when I was hanging out in the early 90s with guitarist Keith Streng of the garage rock band The Fleshtones at their fantastic show at Montreal's Le Dôme!
Last year as I continued to breach the boundaries of conventional video art through my creative visions, deep experimental music and exciting ventures into extreme electro noise, 2023 turned out to be a pretty good year for me on YouTube! Big thanks to the folks at YT!
Have a look at the Best of Vava Vol Videos 2023 and thank you very much for your continuing support!

It was with great glee that I opened my mailbox over the holidays and found the key to my drop box to discover a copy of Trésor National's 'NOME NOMA 2' album laying peacefully inside!
What a surprise I had upon unwrapping Volume 2 of this very special Québec Post Punk New Wave record! There are lots of fond memories nestled in this compilation! I quickly flipped through the bilingual zine to The Essentials page and found my expectations were pleasantly met! Everything on our page was perfect! Mick would have been so proud. The best was yet to come!
The Essentials are featured on the back cover of the album along with Men Without Hats and Nudimension. Tucked away on the zine's back insert is a shot of band founder Mick Lynes happily playing guitar in our 1979 second floor rehearsal studio above the old Eva Braun building, before it was a consignment vintage store on St-Laurent. Very cool!
Our back cover album photo was taken in the early 80s at a Club Tatou on Parc Avenue gig. I never in my dreams thought it would end up on a post-punk/new wave compilation album 45 years later!
As I rummaged around in the album jacket, I pulled out the wondrous 16 page lime green zine and guess who was on the cover??? Térapi's Franklyne!! Seeing her on the cover brought back so many crazy hilarious times at Les Foufounes and at live shows! What a nice touch guys!
And now for the best part... l'écoute! Carefully placing that pristine vinyl on my turntable and cranking up the sound was ritualistic! As I sat back on my couch and listened to the entire LP from the intro track Life is a Blast by C.C. Orchestra to the final track Amour Programmé by Nudimension, I was impressed by the production and sound quality of these wonderful 80s tracks! NOME NOMA 2 brought me right back to the frenzied underground night clubbing lifestyle of Montreal's gritty, nocturnal late 70s & early 80s.
Welcome to my Babe Cave NOME NOMA 2! You are now perpetually filed under the 'N' section of my ever growing eclectic vinyl collection!
On a final note, I would like to thank Sébastien and Victor for including Zilon along with the other dearly departed Mick Lynes, Giuseppe "Joe" DiMauro, and Robert Ditchburn. RIP gentlemen!
