Colour and Noise - Saguaro, Whale of the Desert

The first Women From Space Festival saw four excellent concerts take place over the course of the International Women's Day weekend. Organized by Bea Labikova and Kayla Milmine, the festival felt like a really savvy gathering, always more than the sum of its parts and showcasing the depth of talent in the city's various creative music streams in a women-centred environment.

The night closed with a set from this improvising ensemble playing pianist Ashley Urquhart's compositions. The pieces leave a lot of room for the other members (Tara Kannangara on vox and trumpet, Patrick O'Reilly on guitar, Alex Fournier on double bass, and Aidan Sibley on trombone) to explore and drift, often pulling back into duos and trios given suble shadings by the remaining members.

[Three of this group's members will be playing with Triio (which is not a trio) at their CD launch at The Rex on Sunday, June 2nd.]
