An annual festival of digital creativity and electronic music in Montreal MUTEK was conceived as a “point of convergence” for experimental artists and musicians. Their mission statement explains that their programming,
“intends to create a sonic space that can support innovation in new electronic music and digital art. This is a world of constant evolution and incessant refinement – the “MU” in MUTEK refers consciously to the notion of “mutation”.
The not-for-profit organization achieves this through a variety of initiatives including the festival itself but also a record label, tours, international events and showcases in Montreal.
