Nilan Perera's Synaptic Circus Sundays (now abbrev.'d to SynCirSundays) has returned to the Tranzac on the second Sunday of the month, bringing a variety of boundary-pushing soundmakers together. The current State of Things calls for improvisation in the curation as well as performance, with some last-minute adjustments to the programme remixing the originally-programmed sets. Double bassist Alex Fournier stepped in as a sub for Rob Clutton to present some solo sounds, and also acted as the glue between William Davison's electroacoustic bricolage (including saw, knife, fidget spinner, musical box, fake eyeball, slinky, spike, etc.) and Mike Hansen's prepared turntables. The sort of set where two of the musicians were seen tuning forks as instruments, there was some fine sawin' and tumblin' in effect.

You can check out some video documentation from this set here:

[I will be guest-curating the next instalment of SynCirSundays on Sunday, May 8th and be presenting sets from David Parker (visiting from Kingston) as well LordAUK (new solo drones from Doomsquad's Jaclyn Blumas). The June show is already announced as well!]
