Duprince

Montreal - Canada

Ambiances Ambiguës truly came into being in 2008, when Fred and Éric needed an administrative structure to support their first big idea, the Musical Improvisation League (LIMM) – active since 2003 and which, even today, attracts the best musicians in town who push the boundaries of spontaneity.

Between 2011 and 2015, Ambiances Ambiguës gradually became “a real company,” growing from 2 to 7-8 employees. Management, booking, production; things fell into place, things happened. But ideas were flying in from all directions, so many that a selection process was necessary.

One of these ideas materialized in 2015 with the creation of the Duprince label, at a time when the industry was experiencing a downturn. This does not prevent the record company from quietly building a bold catalogue, constructed with heart, much more than the lure of profit.
