Recorded at The Jama (Ministry of Phonic Services presents), October 18, 2025.
Moving inside after their month-long outdoor "Back to School" festival, Ministry of Phonic Services pulled together this night of sound poetry (and other noises) mixing international guests and local talent at The Jama (a new operation taking over the former Smiling Buddha). Philadelphian Thomas DeAngelo was apparently using his time in Toronto to do some research on the recenty-departed local legend Paul Dutton, although the sonic world he was investigating here pushed in another direction, with a visually-satisfying side-stage set up with extended tape loops and other bricabrac. Like the night's other acts, though, this did indeed play with and deconstruct language, with talkbursts emerging from static and melting into phonemic abstractness.
