In the absence of concert listings, my regular Monday dispatches have fallen off. After bringing some life to the blog with the "bumping into" series, I figure I should get back in the groove. I'm guessing that this will be a bit like what used to get shoved into the end of the post when I was doing listings — some bandcamp suggestions, nods to a few livestreams, and sundry community notes (email me if you have anything that needs broadcast in the latter category!). Plus maybe a look back through the MFS archives.
Video Hits:
- "Sounds of Davenport", a huge undertaking co-ordinated by Aline Homzy, debuted online last week and remains on youtube where you should check it out. "Featuring 17 performances from 28 Toronto-based artists filmed at the Paradise Theatre, this concert is designed to highlight and support a diverse group of musicians contributing to the vitality of their community." Lots of familiar faces in that lineup, which includes (deep breath!) Kobéna Aquaa-Harrisson, Victor Bateman, Roslyn Black, Christine Bougie, Rich Brown, Chaveco, Spencer Cole, Michael Davidson, Rodney Diverlus, Peter Elkas, Nick Fraser, Tania Gill, Rebecca Hennessy, Michael Herring, Emma Hewson, Aline Homzy, Carlie Howell, Luanda Jones, Elena Kapeleris, Njo Kong Kie, Robert Alan Mackie, Aline Morales, Angelica Ne, Lydia Persaud, Andrea Ramolo, Beth Silver, Maryem Tollar, and Ernie Tollar. (Yow!)
Livestream nation:
- Exit Points is back on Wednesday, and you can expect two sets of electronic/electroacoustic improvisation that will include some recombination of Kieran Maraj, Sally Lee, Gabrielle Couillard, Nicole Carroll aka N0izmkr, Scott Lepore, and Thispatcher (as well as community members patching in to jam after as usual.) The show will be streamed on Exit Points' Twitch channel — and you can always find all the information for the series here.
Bandcamp corner:
- I don't know the members of Stenorette (although I bought some tapes from one of them at Sonic Boom's Cassette Store Day celebration back in 2013!) and they keep a pretty low profile, but the pair have just completed the release cycle of a trio of new releases in a series entitled [INV]. With a satisfyingly murky take on drone music, "[t]heir sounds are created using various tapes, vinyl, found sound, and heavily processed guitar. All work is 100% improvised and every session is recorded live to cassette."
It happened this week...
- ...on October 28, 2010 at The Horseshoe Tavern.
