SUMMARY:Prepare the Ground Festival
DESCRIPTION:PREPARE THE GROUND is a community-led arts & heavy music festival taking place across multiple venues in Toronto\, Ontario – the first of its kind in the city. The festival was founded by two lifelong friends\, Toronto-based concert promoter Denholm Whale and KW Campol of music management company Mythos & the Perpetual Flame Ministries record label & art house. \nDrawing inspiration from European festival stalwarts like Roadburn\, Sonicboom\, and Amplifest\, Prepare the Ground is focused on heavy music as an ethos of collective catharsis more than a dedication to one specific metal subgenre. From burgeoning artists\, to favorites you never thought would reunite\, to one-off full album sets\, a heavily curated and meticulously planned lineup is the festival’s key component. \nFor more information and tickets\, click here

SUMMARY:The Music Gallery Presents: NO HAY BANDA | HxH
DESCRIPTION:A double-bill dedicated to the subtle frictions of layered\, long-form music. Duo HxH brings their ambient-dub-cutup improvising practice to Toronto—while NO HAY BANDA performs a new work by Sarah Davachi that draws on the expansive nature of durational sound. \nOur last show of the season is a night dedicated to the subtle frictions of layered\, long-form music—featuring a double-bill of artists known for harnessing the expansive nature of detailed\, durational sound. \nFresh off debut album STARK PHENOMENA\, New York City-based duo HxH (Chris Ryan Williams and Lester St. Louis) bring their signature ambient-dub-cutup sound to Toronto\, using gossamer layers of trumpet\, cello\, and grainy electronics to build what they call “an architecture of the expanse.” In the second half\, Montreal’s NO HAY BANDA performs Sarah Davachi’s work Three Unisons for Four Voices: a 70-minute sextet that plays with the lush\, delicate textures of an ensemble playing in fragile unison with itself—and the acoustic spaces of ‘in-betweenness’ that slowly begin to emerge. \nPWYC (Suggested $20) \nFor more information\, click here
