By utter chance I sat next to the legend Keiji Haino before the Moor Mother & Roscoe Mitchell concert at the 2019 FIMAV.  Stealth portraits taken.

It’s that time of year again, last weekend was the 33rd Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville, or FIMAV.  Here’s a couple shots of the opening cocktail party, one by me, one taken by the fest people.  The latter are typically watermarked (as you will see in many upcoming posts), I’m not taking credit.
