As part of the "Concerts/CD release" component of their Montréal concert season, Productions SuperMusique, in collaboration with DAME, will present two exceptional duos: a great moment in the here and now with Frith + Roger, as well as Côté + Ceccarelli, two quite unusual musicians.

Recorded live at the Festival des musiques de création in Jonquière (Québec) and at La Sala Rossa in Montréal, Danielle Palardy Roger and Fred Frith release Pas de deux, one of Ambiances Magnétiques’ latest titles. A first encounter between two master improvisers, Pas de deux faithfully communicates the energy and telepathy experienced by these two musicians.
