Guillaume Coutu DumontCA/QC
Trained in classical and Latin percussion as well as electroacoustic composition, Guillaume Coutu Dumont has been a central figure in Montréal’s electronic scene since the early 2000s. Emerging with projects like Chic Miniature, EGG, and LUCI, his solo alias Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts fused house, jazz, gospel, and afrobeat, leading to over a decade of global touring across more than 45 countries. Back in Montréal since 2016, he revived Flabbergast with Vincent Lemieux, launched the live trio Auflassen (with Robbie Kuster and Nicolas Boucher), and released new material as Vieux Renard. His recent work explores a nostalgic, analog-infused ambient style, rich in hypnotic repetition and melodic warmth. In 2020, he debuted Les Empires, an hour-long audiovisual piece inspired by science fiction and mythology. Balancing instinctive rhythm with introspective textures, Coutu Dumont continues to craft music that resonates both physically and emotionally.
