SUMMARY:The Music Gallery Presents: Sounding Difference / Listening Care
DESCRIPTION:“An open level listening and sounding event for a collective creative experience. The text scores of Pauline Oliveros are spoken word instructions that are accessible to all: they propose listening strategies and voice toning based on the universal system of seven vowels\, the breath\, and one’s own senses as sources for collective improvisation. We use Oliveros’ thought on listening as multi sensory perception as care\, as a map for social and environmental evolution\, and as self-organizing sonic beauty. \nThis will be an experiential gathering to focus on well being and inclusivity in relation to listening attention: to our environment and the more than human sound field\, in a memory archive and creative imaginative world making sense. \nIn this resonant space\, we begin with land and body of water acknowledgement\, internal listening\, a warm up for sounding\, toning in microtonal difference tones\, exploring the Sonic Meditations and improvisatory Text Scores of Oliveros\, with simple phrases that show the way into a sound field.” \nTo learn more\, and to purchase tickets\, click here.

SUMMARY:Wavelength Presents: Circuit des Yeax & Picastro
DESCRIPTION:Circuit Des Yeux (Chicago / Matador Records) \nPicastro (Toronto / slowcore pioneers) \nJune 13\, 2022 \nProjections by General Chaos Visuals\nDecor by Roxanne Ignatius \nMonday\, June 13\, 2022\n@ 918 Bathurst Centre for Culture\, Arts\, Media & Education\n918 Bathurst St.\,Toronto \n$20 advance at ShowClix.com\nTickets on sale February 7th\, 10:00 AM\n*Note: tickets currently held at 50% capacity\, to be reassessed in the future. \nAll Ages / Licensed \n“Waiting for Summer” is feeling like a solstice-bearing catharsis to look forward to during these frigid months. With the expectation of returning to full capacity by June\, Wavelength is excited to be presenting Chicago’s Circuit Des Yeux and Toronto’s own Picastro at 918 Bathurst. \nChicago’s Circuit Des Yeux is a singular experimental-epic-pop weaver and brainchild of Haley Fohr. Her sixth album and debut for seminal indie label Matador Records\, -io\, was released in October 2021 to widespread critical acclaim (Pitchfork\, Mojo\, Uncut\, Dusted\, The Wire\, The Quietus\, Beats Per Minute). Expansive and emotional\, the album is a sonic footprint of how grief becomes a landscape. Written for a 23-piece orchestra and created during the pandemic\, Haley Fohr’s performance is bound to be arresting and poignantly transformative. \nStarting the evening will be Toronto’s slowcore staples\, Picastro. If you are not acquainted with the brilliance of Liz Hysen\, then today is your lucky day. Started in 1998 as a solo project by Hysen\, Picastro expands to include an ever-evolving array of collaborators\, who have included Owen Pallett\, Nick Storring\, and Brandon Valdivia (aka Mas Aya). Picastro’s latest release\, I’ve never met a stranger\, is an EP of touching covers\, created by friends; cultivated by the uncertainty of life during a pandemic and harnessing the magic of not knowing. \nCOVID Protocols: \nYour safety is our primary concern. Live event protocols are likely to change month to month. At this time\, audience members aged two and older are required to always wear face coverings while on the venue property\, except when actively eating and drinking. Proof of full vaccination minimum 2 weeks prior to the event is required to enter. \nAccessibility: \n918 Bathurst is not currently wheelchair accessible due to stairs (two half-flights to enter the performance space\, and one flight to access the washrooms). For all other accessibility requests\, please contact us at info@wavelengthmusic.ca \nAudience Policy: \nWavelength respects the rights of each member of our diverse audience and is committed to providing an environment in which everyone can feel safe. Any behaviour which could reasonably be perceived as physically\, emotionally\, or mentally harmful to individuals at Wavelength events will not be tolerated. This includes: racism\, sexism\, homophobia\, transphobia\, body shaming\, ableism\, ageism\, and all forms of violence. \nPlease be respectful of others and help Wavelength create a fun and safer space for everyone. If you need help\, or see others in need of help\, please talk to a Wavelength staff member or volunteer. \nFor information on Wavelength’s Code of Conduct and Anti-Harassment and Violence policies\, please go here.

SUMMARY:IANNUS by The Happenstancers
DESCRIPTION:IANNUS pulls the audience back and forth through time\, juxtaposing the 17th and 18th century music of John Dowland\, Henry Purcell\, and Mary Dering with the contemporary works of Judith Weir\, Oliver Knussen\, and Thomas Ades\, and others. \nUsing the music of the past as a guide\, these modern British composers draw inspiration from their predecessors\, quoting their music directly\, referencing their forms\, and sourcing ideas from their shared history. With dramatic staging and lighting\, Judith Weir’s micro-opera King Harald’s Saga is woven throughout the programme\, forming the dramatic core of this performance. \nPerformers for IANNUS include — Hillary Jean Young\, voice; Katya Poplyansky\, violin; Sarah Gans\, cello; Aleh Remezau\, oboe; Kevin Ahfat\, keyboards; and Brad Cherwin\, clarinets. \nIANNUS is presented with the generous support of the Toronto Arts Council\, Ontario Arts Council\, and Canada Council for the Arts.

Not only do both artists record for UK indie label Tin Angel Records\, but Nina Savary’s 2020 debut single for the imprint\, “Second Guessing\,” was a Marker Starling cover. \nA veteran of the Toronto music scene who performed for years under the name Mantler – and who first played the Wavelength series 20 years ago\, during our early days at Ted’s Wrecking Yard (RIP) – Chris Cummings aka Marker Starling has had an increasingly international profile in recent years. Since signing with Tin Angel in 2010\, Cummings has released six albums of increasingly joyous yet still introspective soft-rock. His 2020 LP High January saw him collaborate with two veterans of the British music scene: producer Sean O’Hagan of The High Llamas\, and vocalist Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab\, who guested on two songs. Despite the album’s title\, High January has a carefree\, summery pure-pop vibe throughout. \nBringing the “hybrid” edge to modern-day performance is French multidisciplinary artist Nina Savary\, who will present a virtual set that will be projected digitally at the venue as well as on Wavelength’s YouTube channel. Presented with the support of the French Consulate in Toronto and recorded at a country house in the South of France\, this performance will pair magically with the shimmering atmosphere of Savary’s Franco-pop recordings for Tin Angel. \nAdditional special guests will be announced at a later date\, and the evening will also feature the trademark psychedelic projections of Wavelength’s in-house lighting artist\, General Chaos Visuals. \n—– \nAbout the artists: \nAfter recording and performing for many years as Mantler\, Toronto’s Chris A. Cummings renamed himself Marker Starling in 2012. A solo performer for much of his career\, Cummings became known for his signature melancholy style\, using a Wurltizer electric piano\, with drum machine accompaniment. \nAfter a longtime association with Germany’s Tomlab label\, Cummings began working with Tin Angel Records in 2010\, when they co-released his fourth album Monody and fifth album Rosy Maze to great acclaim in 2015. Since then\, Tin Angel have released four more Marker Starling records: I’m Willing (2016)\, Anchors and Ampersands (2017)\, Trust an Amateur (2018)\, and High January (2020)\, recorded in the UK and produced by Sean O’Hagan (The High Llamas\, Stereolab). Tin Angel will release the upcoming Diamond Violence in 2022. \nCummings has collaborated with the German band Von Spar\, contributing vocals and lyrics to their albums Streetlife (2014) and Under Pressure (2019). “Deep Background\,” a song he wrote for Stereolab’s Laetitia Sadier appeared on Find Me Finding You (2017) and the French-British vocalist guested on his 2020 single\, “Waiting for Grace.” His music is also released on 7e.p. Records in Japan\, where he also performed the singing voice of the character Desmond in the popular anime Carole and Tuesday (2019). \nFrench multidisciplinary artist Nina Savary was born into the world of entertainment\, taking to performing like a duck out of water\, brought up backstage\, behind the scenes of theatres across Europe. Making her debut to the stage at the mere age of four years old at La Scala in Milan\, touring with her parents’ (Jérôme Savary) explosive and free theatre company Grand Magic Circus. Now an adult\, Nina is a renowned performer; a singer\, dancer and actress\, she has been involved in many artistic projects such as musicals\, opera as well as collaborating with musicians such as Stereolab’s Laetitia Sadier and Julien Gasc\, Eddy Crampes\, Marker Starling\, and her partner Astrobal\, aka Emmanuel Mario\, a producer\, arranger and composer with whom she collaborates for the band Institut and the project Vivre!. \nAfter the single “Second Guessing” composed by the wonderful Marker Starling\, Nina’s first solo album Next Level Soap Opera will be released September 24th on Tin Angel Records. The best advice one could give a happy wanderer to pinpoint Nina Savary’s universe on a map would be to proceed by elimination. Look for where she is not rather than where she actually is; for her place of residency is in the exact opposite direction of the current state of emergency. And omitting to indulge in a tired eulogy for idleness\, sloth or rest\, we can be sure that the French singer\, dancer and actress diligently steers clear from the pangs of chaos. \nAnimatist is a four piece experimental rock band from Toronto\, Ontario led by guitarist Brent O’Toole. The rhythm section\, comprised of Steve Cook on bass and Ian Hinds on drums\, form the driving foundation of the band’s powerful sound. The picture is completed by the angular melodies and ambient textures of saxophonist and synth player\, Danielle Fernandes. Together they perform rhythmically deft compositions that evoke equal parts math\, post\, and progressive rock. Animatist has toured Ontario and Quebec\, sharing the stage with artists including Fet.Nat\, ART the Band\, and Peripheral Vision. They’ve also performed for the Guelph Jazz Festival\, Rock the Coliseum\, Kazoo! Guelph and Festival Lingua Franca. \nThroughout 2019 Animatist debuted new material woven into gapless sets that were equally energetic and mesmerizing. It was through perfecting their mind altering live performances that they developed the concepts and songs that would eventually become their sophomore release\, ‘INVERTED’. Releasing on July 3rd\, 2020 on Glue Gun Records\, this album continues to explore the polyrhythmic textures\, dark atmospheres and progressive compositions they’ve come to be known for.
