Besides his work as a visual artist, Francis Arguin is also involved in experimental music.

Vente de feu (since 2008)

Formed in 2008, Vente de feu («fire sale», literally) is an economically non-viable pulsation from Quebec City. Concerned by chaotic forms and polluted ambiances, the band mainly works with an acoustic instrumentation (guitar, clarinet, double bass, drum), without however completely pushing aside the use of electronic devices. Vente de feu's curious sound blends the liberty of european free improv, the energy of free jazz and the sketchiness of no wave. [audio extracts]
