Official Movement Warm-up Party w/ Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts
Ever an energetic actor in the electronic music scene, Montreal based artist Guillaume Coutu Dumont
maintains numerous collaborative projects, performing regularly in his hometown and around the world.
Driven by his passion for hybrid forms of musical expression, Guillaume continues on his quest for the
ultimate ham bone funk recipe with his solo project: Guillaume ...& the Coutu Dumonts a special blend of
funk, house, techno, gospel, swing and afro-beat. His first album FACE À L'EST was released in 2007 on
Musique Risqué and the second BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL in May 2010 on the French imprint Circus
Company. So far, his solo outputs are available on MUTEK_rec, Musique Risquée, Hartchef Discos, Floppy
Funk, OSLO, Raum Musik and on French labels Circus company and Karat.
Guillaume’s initial musical forays were as a percussionist in a funk band, after which he studied latin and
classical percussions in college before discovering electro-acoustic composition, which he pursued further
at university. It was during this period that he joined [iks], a contemporary jazz formation with whom he
recorded two albums and toured for several months in Senegal. Upon his return to Montreal, Guillaume
decided to focus his efforts on composition.
Influenced as much by concrete music as by techno, which he discovered one night in the midst of a lightning
storm, Guillaume founded Egg (MUTEK_rec, Karat, Floppy Funk), Luci (MUTEK_rec, Morris Audio), Chic Miniature
(Raummusik, Musique Risquée), Flabbergast (MUTEK_rec), as well as the artistic collective Racam. He has toured
with one or another of these projects in north/south America, Europe and Asia.
Since January 2007, Guillaume has reached European soil. Like many other, he chose Berlin as his new home
base. Traveling all around the block, he’s always looking to get the dance floors grinning with guilty pleasure.
