Ils sont de retour!
(Translation: They’re baaaaaack!)
As you may have noticed from the Facebook posts, Resident Advisor event pages, and the mini-site on Mutek.org, the Avant_MUTEK experience is returning to Chicago this April. Following the success of Avant_MUTEK’S first Chicagoland foray, the program expands from one day in 2010 to three days in 2011, and continues exploring the artistic boundaries of advanced music and digital art via provocative, playful performances from some of the most highly esteemed names in the electronic music world. Of course, we are again partnering with our Montreal friends in the effort, along with our Chicago based cohorts at the Chicago Office of Tourism, React, Abstract Science, Metro/Smartbar, and People of Rhythm.
