Artist: Happy Apple
Songs: [two excerpts]
Recorded at Burdock Music Hall (Women From Space Festival – Night 4), March 11, 2019.
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.
One of my stronger memories of the previous time I got to perform with Allison Cameron was her deployment of a Fisher Price happy apple, so that seemed like a good band name for another duo set. Cameron obliged by producing her full collection of no less than four happy apples and with some contact mics we were on our way. Plucked strings, synthbursts and tape shenanigans were some of the ingredients here, with the occasional cheerful chime a nice framing element.
[Allison Cameron will be presenting a Quintet where she'll be joined by Robin Dann, Felicity Williams, Christopher Willes, and Mark Zurawinski at her next Tranzac night on Wednesday, May 15th.]
