Debashis Sinha - [excerpt]

Returning after a couple pandemic hiatus years, the Intersection Festival also interfaced once more with the TTC — this time helping to celebrate the launch of the "A More Beautiful Journey" mobile app. With simultaneous concerts at both ends of the Queen streetcar line (and beyond), there was more than one person could take in, so I settled in and managed to see most of the performances at the Humber Loop. Streetcar-free on this day (to the consternation of west-end commuters, I'm sure), bus grumbles and coughs can be heard in the background here, as well as the occasionally-bemused passers-by.

Deb Sinha's set for laptop and shruti box was perhaps the most "environmental" set of the afternoon with his sounds merging freely into the surroundings — listening back here, one can be a bit confused as to what is "performed" and what was otherwise just there in the space.

You can check out some visual documentation from all of the sets I managed to catch that day over on youtube:
