Zoë Alexis-Abrams/Neal Retke/William Davison - [excerpt]

The first Women From Space Festival saw four excellent concerts take place over the course of the International Women's Day weekend. Organized by Bea Labikova and Kayla Milmine, the festival felt like a really savvy gathering, always more than the sum of its parts and showcasing the depth of talent in the city's various creative music streams in a women-centred environment.

This set brought together Zoë Alexis-Abrams and Neal Retke — two distinctive voices — glued together by William Davison's concrète sound-collage. His eerie backdrops held things together like the elastic bands on his contact-mic'd tin can while Retke danced like a soul band backing vocalist on an acid trip and Alexis-Abrams created delay pedal micro-loops.
