"That my best friend, she a real bad b$tch
On the dance floor, she had two, three drinks
Now she twerkin', she throw it out and come back in
That's my best friend, she a real bad b*tch
Drive her own car, she 'on't need no Lyft
In the strip club, know my girl gon' tip
Now she twerkin', she throw it out and come back in"

This one is probably my favourite, because of the iconic red Hong Kong taxi going past. Growing up, they were diesel powered cars, but because of pollution issues in the former British colony, all cabs in Hong Kong now are LPG - they're silent now.
It was a 2 lane road going right to left, and this taxi was in the near lane, and was going to make a turn at the light, so it was slowing down.
Behind it, the bus was past the light and continuing full speed, and the stuttering effect with the light trail is the 10 fps refresh rate of the orange display board showing which route the bus runs.

Durant les cinq dernières années de guerre en Syrie, il a été estimé que plus de 220000 personnes ont été tuées et environ 12 millions de réfugiés ont un besoin urgent d’assistance humanitaire. Certains sont encore dans le pays et d’autres se sont enfuis au delà des frontières. La pire crise humanitaire contemporaine selon certaines organisations. Nous avons décidé d’organiser une série de concerts bénéfices pour prendre conscience et aider les réfugiés syriens.
Nous nous rassemblons aussi pour reconnaître que le militarisme n’est pas la solution et que les bombardements occidentaux n’arrêteront pas le conflit. Le Canada doit non seulement arrêterles bombardements en Syrie et en Iraq, mais aussi dénoncer le fait de consacrer des ressources financières majeures à la continuation de la militarisation du conflit, ce qui inclut l’envoi de conseillers militaires. Comme l’histoire nous l’a déjà montré, du Vietnam à l’Iraq, bombarder les gens ne les sauve pas.
Tout les fonds reçus au concert de ce soir seront donnés directement à un activiste éprouvé sur le terrain, à Beyrouth, au Liban. cet activiste est un allié et un ami du collectif Montréalais Tadamon ! (tadamon.ca/). Les fonds de solidarité seront utilisés pour acheter des fournitures hivernales (couvertures/vêtements chaud) qui seront directement distribuées aux communautés de refugiées Syrienne proche de la région de Baalbek au Liban située dans la vallée de Beqaa proche de la frontière syrienne. Les réfugiés les plus économiquement marginalisés se sont installés dans cette région car voyager dans des centres urbains come Beyrouth est dispendieux. Les organisateurs et supporteurs de ce concert ont déjà eu l’expérience d’amener de l’aide directe spécifiquement à ces communautés syriennes avec cet activiste en particulier à Beyrouth. Ceci étant dit, il y a déjà un processus d’établit. Merci d’avance pour votre support et solidarité.

Since the beginning of the war, which started 5 years ago in Syria, it has been estimated that 220 000 people were killed and more than 12-million refugees are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance, whether they still remain in the country or have escaped across the borders. Some organizations have called it the worst humanitarian crisis of our time, so we have decided to start a series of events to bring awareness and aid to help.
We gather here also to recognize that militarism isn’t the solution and that western military bombs will not stop the conflict. Canada must not only stop sending bombs to Syria and Iraq, but also speak out against the lending of major financial resources to the continued militarization of the conflict, this includes sending military advisers, as we have learned from history, from Vietnam to Iraq, bombing people will not save them.
All funds raised at this concert will go directly to a trusted activist in Beirut, Lebanon, who is an ally and friend to the Tadamon! collective (tadamon.ca/) in Montréal. The solidarity funds will buy winter supplies (blankets / warm clothes) and will be distributed directly to the Syrian refugee communities close to Baalbek, Lebanon located in the Beqaa Valley close to the Syrian border. this is where some of the most economically marginalized refugees have settled because traveling to bigger urban centers like Beirut is expensive. The organizers and supporters of this concert have had prior experience in organizing similar direct aid efforts for these specific Syrian communities with this specific activist in Beirut, therefore there is an established process. Thank you in advance for your support and solidarity!

jérémi roy : depuis 2005, Jérémi est actif professionnellement dans le domaine de la composition et de la performance musicale. ayant dirigé ses propres ensembles et accompagné bon nombres d'artistes et groupes, il a su extraire le psychédélisme des musiques populaires occidentales autant que la transe des musiques traditionnelles de l’Orient et du Maghreb. ses deux stages en musique turque (2010 et 2012) à İstanbul l’ont amené à adopter un système de composition modal non-tempéré, le tout accompagné d’une habitude de son enfance d’utiliser des bandes magnétiques et magnétophones comme moteurs du hasard contrôlé. or, son travail solo se veut une synthèse de ces éléments et a été présenté en mai 2015 au festival RE:FLUX à Moncton et dans le cadre d'évènement ponctuels Howl! Arts à Montréal en 2014 et 2015.
