Miriodor began in the early '80s in Quebec City, as an instrumental sextet. The band issued a self-produced LP, Rencontres, in 1985, before moving to Montreal and re-forming as a trio with members Pascal Globensky (keyboards), Sabin Hudon (saxophones), and Remi Leclerc (drums). Miriodor successfully blends classic progressive music, new technology, and new music. Miriodor released a self-titled LP in 1988, which was later reissued on CD by Cuneiform. 1992 brought the release of Avertissement/3rd Warning, which included cut-out figures of the band members. Jonglieres Élastiques (or, Elastic Juggling) followed in 1996. By the late '90s, Hudon had exited and was replaced by saxophonist Marie-Chantal Leclerc, and the trio became a quintet with the addition of guitarist Bernard Falaise (also of Montreal band Klaxon Gueule) and bassist Nicolas Masino.
