SUMMARY:Thin Edge Presents: ChamberDestroy (Co-presented by Music Gallery)
DESCRIPTION:About: \nChamberDestroy is co-produced by The Music Gallery and connects contemporary music ensembles from two of Canada’s largest cultural centres with one common artistic goal. Ensemble Paramirabo-EP (Montreal) and Thin Edge New Music Collective – TENMC (Tkarón:to/Toronto) reunite on the heels of a highly successful joint touring/recording project (2015 and 2018)\, to premiere Nicole Lizée’s ChamberVania (AKA ChamberDestroy\, FKA ChamberKill) for double sextet\, soundtrack and video and Datura for double sextet and video by Yaz Lancaster (USA) alongside\, Louis Andriessen’s seminal Workers Union and Julius Eastman’s Joy Boy for unspecified ensemble. \nMontreal-based Nicole Lizée is one of Canada’s most sought after and imaginative composers. Her instantly recognizable musical language ingeniously marries elements of contemporary music with technology\, popular culture and visuals. Nicole’s rhythmically propulsive new work explores ephemera\, idioms\, and connotations of early video game culture. The 8-bit world infiltrates the chamber ensemble world as instruments assume 8-bit and pixelated characteristics. Sections of the work are duel/battle-based music: ensemble vs ensemble. Puzzles need to be completed\, levels are attained\, 2D and 3D music are both expressed on screen via graphics and in the ensemble writing and alterations to instruments. The ensembles performs on custom-made instruments to evoke the infiltration through the 4th/5th wall into the chamber music world. \nYaz Lancaster is a transdisciplinary artist based in NYC. They are most interested in practices aligned with relational aesthetics & the everyday; fragments & collage; and liberatory politics. Their work is presented in many different mediums & collaborative projects\, and often reckons with specific influences ranging from politics of identity & liberation to natural phenomena and poetics. \nLouis Andriessen’s experimental compositional style developed as a rebellion against postwar serialist traditions prevalent in Europe during his formative years. Worker’s Union (1975) is an indeterminate piece ‘for any loud sounding group of instruments’. Driven by aggressive\, machine-like rhythmic precision\, Andriessen believes that “only in the case that every player plays with such an intention that his part is an essential one\, will the work succeed; just as in the political work.” TENMC and EP are revisiting this powerful composition\, which featured prominently on their joint album ‘Raging Against the Machine’ (2015 Redshift Records)\, in honour of Andriessen’s recent passing. \nJoy Boy (1974) by visionary American minimalist composer/performer Julius Eastman\, is written for open instrumentation\, and includes elements of improvisation within the framework of a set harmonic structure. Joy Boy’s shimmering harmonic textures carry listeners and performers alike along for an ecstatic sonic journey. \nDoors: 7:30pm\nShow Starts: 8:00pm \nTickets: General $25\,PWYCA $10 +\, Music Gallery Members $10 \nBuy Tickets here! \n

SUMMARY:What Is: Spirituality  As Connection
DESCRIPTION:Sound buzzes around the venue\, crawls up the walls\, and explores sonic movement. \nSound is a sensory object. We use its waves\, frequencies\, particles to explore our bodies\, unlock memories\, and learn about what it means to be human.\nKicking off our first day of programming\, sound is explored in three parts. The first\, a vibrotactile sound installation created by Leon Louder in partnership with VibraFusionLab. This multi-day installation brings the Montreal Insectarium to life\, with whirring sounds that can be felt and heard.\nIn the main hall ASMR and hypnosis artist Erin Gee explore the subtleties of music and sensation in her performance. This is followed by Oakland based artist\, Amma Ateria who will be presenting a neurological-centered\, psycho acoustic performance titled CONCUSSSSION\, a work created to help herself heal from a life altering injury. \nThursday\, May 9\, 2024\nStarts 8 PM\nDoors 7:30 PM
