-Back to composing for dance with Mélanie Demers / Mayday. She just finished some rehearsals on the new, yet untitled, piece in Italy and will continue this work throughout 2012. The fruit of this labour will be premiered in spring 2012.

-Juste before Christmas and until spring, you’ll be able to hear JSC’s sounds on the Émilie-Gamelin square for Eclats de verre by Atomic3. Come and see the installation at the corner of Ste-Catherine and Berri in Montreal.

-Croire au mal, by Jérémie Niel / Pétrus , will be the first « official » collaboration between JSC and Niel, but they previously worked together on Cendres and on the closing show of the OFFta 2011 featuring We Are Wolves. The piece will be presented at La Chapelle from Feb. 21st to March 3d.

-A few days later, it’s time to continue the work on Cartes, the new theatrical adventure by Robert Lepage. The world premiere of the show will be in Madrid in May, but before that the people in Toronto can go see the Blue Dragon between the 10th of Jan. and 19th of Feb. at the Royal Alexandra.

-Finally, after planning the project for a year, the « real » work started on a new multimedia show that will premiere in June 2012 in Mont-Laurier. A mix of projections, lights, music and odours brought to you by Ambiance Design and Haute Voltige Laurentides. Jean-Sébastien takes care of the whole audio aspect of the project, composing the music and doing the sound design of the 45 minute presentation. More details here...

The media premiere is tonight!

Everybody involved in the project will meet again for the final tune up and world premiere of the how in London's Saddler's Wells in February 2009.

Jean-Sébastien Côte's sound design mixes baroque-period music, electronic soundscapes and live amplification and involves a lot of "performance" from the sound operator. He will assume that role for the first dates of the tour but will count on Claude Cyr's "savoir-faire" for the remaining of the adventure...]]>jscote@jscote.comNone2009-07-30T13:02:55-04:00http://www.jscote.com/site2008/files/aefa5e86550417f184d032ee12da3a8f-8.html#unique-entry-id-8http://www.jscote.com/site2008/files/aefa5e86550417f184d032ee12da3a8f-8.html#unique-entry-id-8Our sincere apologies for the lack of updates.

The Blue Dragon at Théâtre du Nouveau Monde in Montréal...


Eonnagata at La Place des Arts of Montréal (just in front of the TNM!)...



...and The Blue Dragon in Berkeley, Californie.

Holidays in Central America followed that, then the inevitable return back home. Since then, it’s a technical rush to get ready for August; the month will be devoted to the album... but go to that particular section for details!]]>jscote@jscote.comNone2009-10-10T23:23:28-04:00http://www.jscote.com/site2008/files/2915f9538c6cf8fc7c5de315871f2b4c-9.html#unique-entry-id-9http://www.jscote.com/site2008/files/2915f9538c6cf8fc7c5de315871f2b4c-9.html#unique-entry-id-9The Aleph, a new play based on Jorge Luis Borges’s short tory, will be presented in Toronto in the winter of 2010 by the company Soulpepper.

-Jean-Sébastien will be composing the music for À toi, pour toujours, ta Marie-Lou, presented at Théâtre du Nouveau Monde in May 2011. The production will be staged by Gill Champagne. For more information, click here.

-The first « proper » creation period for Robert Lepage’s new theatre show, Cartes, was held last December at La Caserne, in Québec City. Interesting subject, spectacular set... very promising! The next creation period will also be in May.
Sound design by Jean-Sébastien Côté, music by Philippe Bachman.

-La Tempête (The Tempest) by William Shakespeare will be presented this summer in Wendake, near Quebec City. Robert Lepage directs this play that is designed specially for the outside auditorium located on the reserve. This means it will be the only chance to catch that production...
Sound design by Jean-Sébastien Côté. More details here.

-Jean-Sébastien will be leaving for Berlin in the next weeks to work on a new show by Wajdi Mouawad called TEMPS (Time). The play is a creation made for the Théâtre du Trident’s 40th anniversary and it will be presented there from March 8 to April 2, but it will also take the stage in Ottawa and Montréal.
Sound design by Jean-Sébastie Côté, music by Michael Jon Fink. For more info, click here.
