Saturday August 23:
Ferragosto Block Party is back in Little Italy for its 4th edition!
If you can’t wait, join us on August 23 for a free outdoor concert in a festive atmosphere. Patche will be performing their signature sound: a bold mix of avant-garde, krautrock, techno, and dance.
About Patche:
Patche’s music is born in a single take, straight from the source. These improvisations are later deconstructed and reassembled into a vibrant, harmonious sonic patchwork.
This instrumental ensemble brings together Eliott Durocher Bundock, Étienne Dupré, Lévy Bourbonnais, Mandela Coupal-Dalgleish, and JB Pinard, known for their work with Mon Doux Saigneur, Alex Burger, Lumière, Duu, zouz, and Zombie Life Mon Coeur.
With modular synths at the core, they push sonic boundaries in a psychedelic, experimental approach rooted in krautrock tradition. Think ambient textures layered with hypnotic rhythms, offbeat loops, and tonal blends of experimental rock, art rock, avant-garde, techno, and dance.
For these five standout musicians, it’s all about embracing the tension between live performance and the mechanical precision of synths. Without losing the organic feel of their instruments, Patche takes listeners on a cosmic journey, both strange and familiar.
It’s a layered, instrumental trip that hits right where it should.
