Littoral States - MP3
Littoral States is a shifting, reciprocal project that explores affinities beyond time, place, tradition and medium. Working in collaboration between Montréal, Morin-Heights and Brussels, musicians Sarah Pagé and Patrick Graham, along with visual artist Tamar Kasparian, chart pathways at once elusive and overlapping. Referencing a variety of natural elements and artistic traditions, Littoral States endeavors to dissolve boundaries and foreground the incorporeal. Intimacy is defined not by presence/absence, but in knowing and unknowing: as matter etched in air.
