P-Star (Rising) & Pop Montreal 2009
P-Star Rising featuring Priscilla Star Diaz (P-Star) will be part of Film Pop 2009 in Montreal. Wouldn't it be great if P-Star herself came to Montreal for the film and performed at Kids Pop? We can only hope...

Also Pop Montreal is attempting to raise $5,000 by Sept. 21 so they can create the ultimate music room, consisting of 16 theramins!
Used famously on old sci-fi movie soundtracks such as The Day The Earth Stood Still and Spellbound, the Russian designed instrument features an antenna that picks up hand gestures and then translates them into eerie music.
"A Community Curated, Built & Performed Musico Art Project: A Colossal Theremin Room, brought to us by Art Pop and the Pop Montreal Symposium," is the brainchild of live music avant-gardists David Beaulieu and Christian Pelletier, whose previous work includes the snakelike portable speakers used by Patrick Watson during their prop-heavy free Jazz Fest show in July.
It won't house the homeless or feed the hungry, but a large theremin room open to the public from Sept. 30 to Oct. 4 at Espace Reunion might be something worth philanthropism. There are some pretty unique prizes available to generous benefactors, including a Pop Montreal VIP pass, a musical performed in your honour by Pop Montreal, your very own Patrick Watson portable speaker suit, or an exclusive track by Gentleman Reg or Dishwasher.
