Monday Roundup #171

Community notes:

  • If you're interested in deconstructing power relations in concert/classical music, you should probably check out "spectatorship is not neutral", part of a series of "site-specific interventions for concert halls" by Colin Tucker at the Canadian Music Centre April 23-26 and April 29-May 3. Incorporating participatory performances, an artist talk plus a panel discussion there should be plenty to absorb. More information here.
  • Michael Palumbo (of the Exit Points series and so much more) will be giving a live modular synth performance as part of a screening of Subotnick: Portrait of an Electronic Music Pioneer at the Revue Cinema on Wednesday (April 24th). The night will also include a Q&A with director Robert Fantinatto.

A word from your host:

  • Goodness knows I try not to be too self-promote-y in this space, but I've got a big week coming up. I'm having a birthday party at The Tranzac on Wednesday (April 25th) and you really oughtta be there. There will be live sets from Eucalyptus, Isla Craig + band and Colin Fisher, eats, and just maybe a free record giveaway table (!). I'm proposing $15 cash at the door (or in advance online if you want to stay cashless) but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. (And if you want some more intimate, more sonically abstract time with me, I'll be celebrating the recent release of Wenderly Park's debut album with Fahmid Nibesh at 918 Bathurst's Sun Room on Tuesday evening (April 23rd).
