Marie-Douce St-Jacques

Marie-Douce St-Jacques is a Montreal-based interdisciplinary artist whose activities encompass music, visual arts, publishing and scriptwriting. As a musician and composer, she was vocalist and keyboard player in Pas chic chic (2005–2010) and, since 2011, has been one half of the duo Le fruit vert, in which she sings, plays the electronic combo organ, various synthesizers and a modified beatbox. A precocious publisher, at the age of 17 she founded aMAZEzine (1995–2001), an experimental music fanzine that would reach worldwide circulation. Inspired by musical and artistic avant-garde movements, St-Jacques has long been a creator of posters, book-objects, album covers, and, since 2010, hand-assembled collages. St-Jacques pursues publishing activities through Le laps, a micro-publishing platform dedicated to artists’ and experimental musicians' writing.
