You can read more about why I'm doing listings here. Long story short: This curated and decidedly non-comprehensive list contains nothin' but shows that I am going to/would go to if I had more time.
Gig of the week:
Thin Edge New Music Collective, TIFF and Riparian Acoustics co-present: Contralto [Sarah Hennies' experimental documentary with live musical accompaniment] (feat. Ilana Waniuk/Nelson Moneo/Amahl Arulanandam/Adam Scime/Cheryl Duvall/Nathan Petitpas/Germaine Liu) / TIFF Lightbox 2018-10-24 (Wednesday) [FB event]
This unique multimedia event mixes Sarah Hennies' experimental documentary with live accompaniment from Thin Edge, who are steadily pushing musical boundaries while creating safe and cozy listening zones. This is definitely one of those occasions where you'll want to see the film on the big screen.

Bandcamp corner:
- In these parts, a summit between Heidi Chan, Mira Martin-Gray and Kayla Milmine is big news. This new electroacoustic power trio, dubbed Overleaf, has just opened up shop on bandcamp, with an album of home recordings plus a live set from the Tranzac. Recommended to all fans of blurp, skritch and honk.
Community corner:
- Registration is open for the second installment of Sounding Difference, the Music Gallery's series of workshops with Anne Bourne exploring Pauline Oliveros' text scores. These are great for helping anyone to extend their listening techniques and extremely useful for music heads whether they're on stage or in the audience. It's a participatory environment, but as the song says, don't worry if you're not good enough for anyone else to hear — just sing. This is a free event, but it will fill up, so register now!
