Baker’s LungPROJECT21st

Baker's Lung

“Baker’s Lung”, the second event of the #musicismore series combines professional baking experience and music practice. Both music and food are communal experiences that connect us as human beings, “Baker’s Lung” aims to amplify this connection and explore the relationships between sound and the making of bread.

Inspired by Felix Del Tredici, a Canadian brass performer and professional baker for one of Montréal’s most popular artisanal bakeries. "Baker’s Lung" offers a glimpse into a baker’s life and work environment that the public rarely experiences, a sonic playground that invites introspection about the relationship between trombones and sourdough, acoustics and ingredients, and our lungs and flour.

This interactive art exhibit will feature newly created sound sculptures, musical instruments, media art, and live performances. Together with multifaceted performing artist Kalun Leung, “Baker’s Lung” will take you on a sensual and thought-provoking journey where you can experience music with your hands, eyes, and nose. Come and enjoy the delicious baking smell and explore the possibilities of sound in this music bakery!

Del Tredici’s sourdough starter from Montréal will be offered to attendees as part of the exhibit (while stock last).
