Nilan Perera curated this assembly of electroacoustic soundmakers, each with some non-standard instrumentations, including: Mike Hansen with his turntables; Connor Bennet with his soprano sax and some hidden gear in his briefcase (which might be rendered more comprehensible by pondering on this); William Davison's variety of amplied objects; and Heralitus Akimbo with ukulele, Sound Urchin, Speak & Spell and sundry pedals. Between two quartet encounters, exploring a variety of textures, the group also bifurcated for some smaller-scale tête-à-têtes.

With a new cycle of residencies beginning, the Synaptic Circus will not be at the Tranzac this Sunday, but keep an eye out for the next thing from one of the busiest minds in Toronto's creative music ferment. And kudos to Nilan Perera for all the cool sht that came together under his watchful eye.

They don't seem to be embeddable, but there is some sweet video of the whole night available: the first quartet set, the duos, and the second quartet set.
