This special one-off in Josh Cole's regular Kind Mind timeslot saw reeds player Titus Abbott (visiting from Maine) joined by Cole, Nick Fraser, and Marilyn Lerner. Abbott, moving from soprano and tenor sax to bass clarinet, brought one loosely-structured scored piece, but otherwise the group fell into place with some sweet improvisations.
Allison Cameron returned to her Tranzac residency with an evening of solo performance — not the way it was originally planned after COVID scrapped the previous month's show, but nonetheless an excellent restatement of sonic purpose. Cameron's solo setup contains some familiar elements (ukulele, SK-1), but the sounds are now being framed with a series of field recordings from her laptop. (And as a bonus, the rarely-seen crackle synth made an appearance, as heard on the first selection here.) Cool noises, a bit of a breeze coming through the open window — this is what I call a good evening.
Someday this space might be mostly concert listings again, but for now Monday roundups might include a romp through the MFS archives, some bandcamp suggestions, nods to a few livestreams, and sundry community notes (email me if you have anything that needs broadcast in the latter category!).
Community notes:
You know about SoundList, right? "SoundList is an E-mail newsletter devoted to announcements of free-improvisation, experimental music and sound art events in the Toronto area." When it returned after a pandemic hiatus a little while back, it felt like one of the forces that bind the community together had returned, although getting the machine up to speed meant that there were some issues with the web front-end where you could subscribe. It looks like that's fixed now, so it you're not getting SoundList in your inbox every week, I really urge you to go here and change that. There's been a lot of talk lately about how tough it is to hear about shows, so we should all be using a viable resource that's already in place!
You might have to watch this new one from Badge Époque Ensemble twice: once to absorb the song, and then again to follow the band/local music history lesson, provided by local stalwart Jay Anderson
It's always a delight when there's new music from Man Made Hill — and even moreso with the news that his Mirage Repair will be released by Orange Milk Records on July 15th.

It happened this week...
...on June 24, 2019 at Burdock Music Hall (TONE Festival 3.5).
Amongst the things that I didn't really notice I was missing was a night like this, where a visiting musician is given a chance to mix things up with some local faves. Unlike last time I saw him, Vancouverite clarinetist François Houle was playing without his cool effects rig, but there were still plenty of sounds to be wrung from his instrument as he was joined by Naomi McCarrol-Butler on sax, Tania Gill on piano and Joe Sorbara on percussion, stretching out through a spontaneous suite of ideas.
[François Houle will be playing a free and outdoor show with his quartet (including Gord Grdina, Mark Helias, and Gerry Hemingway) at the Jazz Festival, Sunday afternoon, July 3rd.]
With two guitar/bass/drum trios playing, this was a real chophouse of an evening. After lamenting that he had to follow Laun Phung's complex grooves, series host Nilan Perera took up his electric axe and proved he was no slouch, guiding his rhythm section through some gliding inquiries that pulled inspriations ranging from nimble West African licks to 'Tranes's laments.
You can also check out some video documentation from this set over on youtube:
With two guitar/bass/drum trios playing, this was a real chophouse of an evening. This fiery trio, lead by Luan Phung (and playing some of his compositions mixed in with an improvised exploration) was a precision operation — albeit one that wrangled its entertainment value by having its tightrope walkers untying knots while blindfolded. (Do not attempt this at home!)
You can also check out some video documentation from this set over on youtube:
Presenting some of the tunes from Az Yashir (although an offical release show is still forthcoming!) Ayal Senior teamed up with Kurt Newman on lap steel to fill out the sound a little. Lovely stuff — you could just sit out on the back porch with these two playing all Sunday afternoon long and feel content to watch the clouds go driftin' by.
How pleasing to see Jonathan Adjemian out on a Sunday afternoon, playing some piano to soothe babies and other humans. Young Rafi Adjemian (who can be heard adding harmonines at a couple spots in this extract) even sat on papa's lap and collaborated to start things off — for some truly wholesome viewing, I recommend this video document shot by Ayal Senior:
After an appetite-whetting preview last month, the TONE Festival kicked off in earnest with this night out, leading off a frenzy of activity that'll see the bulk of the festival's shows clustered over the next couple weeks.
It's quite satisfying to see the strides that Vicky Mettler's project has made since last playing this festival — not only in terms of gaining some wider recognition, but also in how she has shifted from building dense sound-worlds to more actively inhabiting them. Helping with the layers was percussionist Samuel Gougoux, deploying tiny close-mic'd gestrures that were amplified into widescreen textures.

This joint effort from Yunjin Claire Lee and Yoni Newman operates as a sort of co-operative knob-twisting contact dance, generating spontaneous techno grooves emerging from ambient haze.

After an appetite-whetting preview last month, the TONE Festival kicked off in earnest with this night out, leading off a frenzy of activity that'll see the bulk of the festival's shows clustered over the next couple weeks.
This trio was originally a solo project from vocalist/guitarist Daniel Janvier, but has now coalesced into a trio with Gene Converse (bass) and Victor O (drums). Janvier's operatic yalp created some interesting tensions with the band's post-punk soundscapes, just as his shimmery guitar tone found an co-habitated restlessly with the rhythm section's lurch.

Bandcamp corner:
How do we let things go? How do we process grief? Jakob Rehlinger's Ten Sorrows explores these processes, presenting a requiem for his mother that slowly glides from densely-tangled chamber music to airy ambiance. Heavy but cathartic, and perhaps the most carefully-composed suite in Rehlinger's a wide-ranging body of work.
It happened this week...
...on June 14, 2017 at The Tranzac's Southern Cross Lounge (TONE Festival – Show #1).
Although there were a couple pleasant park encounters last summer, this was the first fifth-Sunday-of-the-month gathering for this amorphous drone collective since the beforetimes. Despite a surfeit of hands-on group-droning, the double-digit crew fell into healthy patterns of sonic restraint, sending out two sets of pleasant buzzes, scrapes and whispers.
The ensemble on this day consisted of:
Ian McPhedran - the mass device
Sterling McPhedran - the mass device/namer-of-things

It happened this week...
...on May 30, 2014 at Mercer Union (PLATFORM: Music at Mercer).
Founded as a blog about one curmudgeon's love affair with the em dash, Mechanical Forest Sound has grown to become a community-based archive of local musical culture. Assuming that "independent music" isn't just boys with guitars and "culture" isn't just some sort of pageant, MFS is an investigation of a wide range of artists, reflecting on concerts as shared experiences, acts of citizenship and a chance to get down — fuzzy photographs and clear-sounding original live recordings a specialty.
Current manifestations of this project include Track Could Bend, a monthly concert series featuring "improvised music and weird rock offshoots", presented in a casual environment.
At one point I wrote full-on concert reviews, and for longer I thought I would catch up and write about shows in the past. But these days, because of, y'know, life, do not expect much in the way of full show reviews — but live recordings with blurbs will be posted as quickly after the fact as is feasible.
You can also check out full sets uploaded to the Live Music Archive. [not currently active]
N.B.: All recordings should be available & playable. If you come across any broken links, invisible or non-functioning players, etc, please leave a comment and I will tend to it ASAP.
ALSO N.B.: I'm perpetually on the lookout for a new place to stash my MP3's online. If you know of any place that allows a couple gigs of stuff to be openly linked to for streaming, drop me a line!
All MP3's on this blog are audience recordings shared as a reminder of the excitement of seeing live music. If you are an artist who doesn't want their music shared in this way, please contact me and I shall remove it forthwith.
