Chagall Sierra with Jeremy Edwards - unknown

This night of different drone-pop styles opened with a set from Chagall Sierra, mixing operatic vocals with Celtic folk sounds, lush synth pads and percussion. Possibly influenced by her work as a TTC busker, Sierra has mastered stretching out a song and letting the reverb of a space add even more room. After a couple solo pieces, she closed out her set with this impromptu collaboration with bass clarinetist Jeremy Edwards, who found just the right spots to enhance her vocals and carry them skywards.

^* Does anyone know the title to this one? Please leave a comment!
