Wow! this year's festival will be interesting for sure. I wonder if they'll have all their outdoor art installations as well.

Great vibes with this awesome music. I was lucky enough to attend FIMAV twice, but a long time ago...about twenty years ago. Great festival!

Hi was that hypnotic brassy piece before 11:30pm Mascarade? I loved it.

Hey Manmohan, time for a re-up to FIMAV one of these years (for me, too)

Hi David, yes it was the 10 minute track 'Mascarade' from Le Double. One of my favourite discoveries while putting the show together. AFAIK there are no studio recordings, just a few live documents. https://www.fimav.qc.ca/en/stephane-diamantakiou
