The MUTEK Autumn season kicked off this year with the 5th edition of
the MUTEK.MX festival in Mexico City. The MUTEK team along with
invited Canadian artists traveled to Mexico to enjoy performances in
several interesting venues around the city (you can read more about
it later in the newsletter).
Now back in Montreal, we are fully involved in preparing for our 10th
anniversary edition of MUTEK taking place from May 27th to 31st in
2009. Our team is working hard on this special edition. Two new
people have been added to our organization, bringing their passion

Communications. Living in Québec for a year and a half now, she has
acquired a solid work experience in Romania, the country she grew-up
in. She has been involved in other cultural events in Montréal
including: the 24th edition of the Vues d'Afrique film festival and
the 37th Festival du nouveau cinema. A declared MUTEK fan, her
integration was smooth and rapid.

FEEDBACK ON THE 5TH EDITION OF MUTEK.MX
Part of the MUTEK movement and presenting the same type of cultural
programming, the MUTEK.MX festival took place this year from October
23rd to the 26th in Mexico City. From the theatres and casino in the
historic centre of the city, to the enormous warehouse redesigned for
the event, the several eclectic venues for MUTEK.MX pushed the
boundaries this year.
Several artists from Québec accompanied the MUTEK Montréal team and
we all enjoyed a well-constructed and energetic program that
showcased a wide range of high-quality performances. We would
especially like to highlight the outstanding performances by several
Mexican artists: NORTEC, CUBENX, FAX, ALGORYTHM & BLUES and LATINSIZER.
During the event, MUTEK Montréal, in partnership with the MINISTRY OF
TOURISM QUÉBEC and CANAL 22, organized a contest for two lucky people
to win passes for the next MUTEK in Montréal in 2009 including free
transportation and accommodation. We would like to thank our two
partners for this interest in MUTEK. Congratulations to our winners
ANDREA PADILLA and ENRIQUE CASTILLO!
We would like to thank and to congratulate all the members of the
MUTEK.MX team for this remarkable 5th edition. Despite the
limitations MUTEK.MX experienced this year due to the international
financial crisis, it's clear that the festival is an essential and
active element that helps develop its local art scene and position
Mexico on the international circuit.

RASTER-NOTON IN SOUTH-AMERICA
Great explorers of the minimal electronic sound, the Raster-Noton
collective toured South-America for the first time in October.
CARSTEN NICOLAI and OLAF BENDER performed in Brazil, Argentina,
Uruguay and Chile, while FRANK BRETSCHNEIDER joined the tour for
their last event in Mexico.
Their South American included two MUTEK-related events. The first was
an event in Santiago, co-presented by MUTEK_CHILE and the second was
a Raster-Noton showcase at the MUTEK.MX festival in Mexico City. The
tour was a complete success, to an extent that surprised even the
artists themselves. The tour was documented on the following blog:
