Tousk 

Des airs turluttés, des gigues envoutantes, des mélodies qui racontent des histoires… Tousk est le résultat d'un mélange entre traditions et inspirations. Réunissant trois multi-instrumentistes qui se sont croisées au cours des sessions montréalaises de musique trad, la formation présente des pièces originales utilisant le chant et la danse comme instrument à part entière, et où l’improvisation et l’exploration de styles sont mises à l’avant. Formé au printemps 2018, Tousk rassemble la complicité de Gabrielle Létourneau (voix, violon, compositions), Benjamin Tremblay-Carpentier (harmonicas, kaval, os, guitare, podorythmie) et Olivier Arseneault (bodhrán, guimbarde, gigue, danse, percussions corporelles). 

Marie Hamilton 

A vocalist and harpist, Marie Hamilton’s work explores both the strings she plays and the space between them. A Vermont native currently based in Montreal, she has spent time studying harp and song in Ireland, Scotland, and France and has shared her music on stages, in gardens, on rooftops, by the ocean, and in forests all across eastern Canada and the US. Her music is nourished by a love for old melodies, an infinite curiosity, and a touch of synesthesia. Accompanying her voice with a warm heart and nimble fingers on her harp, she blends sound and colour inspired by emotions and forms in the world around and within her.
