Electro Jacques Therapy — Jacques Mindreau
Transcendental violin, vocals & looping

An internationally touring artist, his work spans film, theatre, and dance, and he’s known for cultivating vibrant grassroots music communities (including Halifax’s legendary Agricola Street Open Mic). His performances evoke ceremony, improvisation, and deep connection to place.
