Community notes:
- The Music Gallery's X Avant Festival is this week — long-serving as the unofficial end of summer/gateway into fall for the local musical calendar, this year's edition offers three nights of music that will definitely help to reconcile you to the sudden transition to long pants weather. And while you definitely can't go wrong at 918 Bathurst with Germaine Liu's candy-coated percussion party (Wednesday) or Yes No Wave's celebration of Indonesian experimental electronic music (Friday), I'm going to give myself a shout-out here and strongly recommend you do not miss Thursday's off-site shoestravaganza at the Bata Shoe Museum, which, somehow, I was invited to curate. There will be nine musicians performing, with the first half seeing acoustic solos/duos/trios spread throughout the galleries and the second half seeing a large-scale, electronically-processed collaborative set. It's really looking like a fun night!
Meanwhile, besides the musical programming, Sunday sees "nerds are punk too", a "community roundtable discussion dedicated to breaking, building and dreaming" and making and holding spaces to create culture in these fractured times.
- Meanwhile, there's plenty going on otherwise, including Concrete Cabaret's Objecto Festival, taking over The Tranzac this weekend with two nights of experimental cabaret, with avant-puppetry and other artforms, plus music by Ronley Teper and the Lipliners!
- Also, AMBiENT PiNG's live community drone event DRONE:KLUB returns Thursday to the Long & McQuade Clinic Hall. All are welcome to participate in or experience the drones!
