After a couple expansive outdoor performances, the Cosmic Homeostasis crew were ready to make some further explorations into durational drone-making. Holding down the middle stretch of this all-night unofficial Nuit Blanche event, the musicians took over the Sanctuary's balcony, spreading out to give a spacialized mix to the audience down on the floor. Nearly twenty musicans came and went over the course of the night, adding some additional variety to the sonic textures. There was also a nice mix of acoustic and electronic sounds — the former especially blooming with the room's beautiful acoustics.
The participants in the Sanctuary Drone were:
- Blash Belmar - erhu, flutes
- Dan Friedman - Korg NTS-1, harmonica, whistling
- Eric Cinnesealach - clarinet
- Ian McPhedran - guitar
- Janel Jones - trumpet, voice
- Magick - Magick
- Matt Collins - guitar
- Maxim Gontcharenko- singing bowls
- Michelle Breslin - guitar
- Mickle32 - effects
- Paul Newman - tenor saxophone
- Phil Johnston - tape loops, effects, 1-string guitar
- Rosalind Saunders - violin
- Ron Blake - apps, etc.
- Ryan Kinney - electronics
- Sonia Leung - violin, windchimes

If you want to hear (a lot) more of this, I have archived the bulk of the performance over on bandcamp:
