Songs: Non-pitched sounds/Rod's conduction
Recorded at The Tranzac (Southern Cross Lounge), February 8, 2026.
Toronto Improvisers Orchestra - Non-pitched sounds
Toronto Improvisers Orchestra - Rod's conduction
February's version of the TIO required the wide-angle lens to capture, with a circle of seven musicians sharing sounds. These selections (which run directly one into another) show a couple of the techniques at play in their performances. At a suggestion from the group, the first part is an exploration of non-pitched sounds on everyone's instrument. Once that idea was poked at from all the different angles, Rod Campbell stood up to conduct a piece, nicely pulling all the sounds back together.
[The TIO are back in action in the Southern Cross at noon next Sunday (March 8th).]
