In 2002, Yannick Rieu launched his Non Acoustic Project, along with Maxime St-Pierre on trumpet, Daniel Thouin on keyboards, Al Baculis on electric bass, and Tony Albino on drums. “The music is free and the improvisation more unbridled, though as masterful as ever. Rieu is using electronics (sampling, reverb), coupled with solid playing, to find new sonorities. One cannot deny that the result has surpassed all expectations.” Voir, Montreal. “Rieu charts new and promising terrain…” The Gazette, Montreal. Rieu also played some of the tunes from Non Acoustic Project in the second half of a concert with American pianist Bill Carrothers at the Montreal Spectrum in November 2002.
