PHOLDE

Pholde is a dark ambient project in which the sounds are also made from metal sculptures started in 2002.
The sounds are produced from metal of different tensile strengths, sizes, and thicknesses in which reverb is the only effect being used. Homemade custom metal instruments, as well as circular saw blades, car springs, iron meshing, and fan blades are bowed and scraped with hand files, smooth and threaded metal rods, angle iron, and blocks of steel to produce atmospheric, haunting soundscapes.

Bryan Eubanks & Cat Lamb (USA)http://www.sacredrealism.org/bryaneubanks/index.html
http://www.sacredrealism.org/catlamb/index.html

Catherine Lamb (b. 1982, Olympia, WA.) is a composer/violist exploring sound through intimate ensembles and solo work. She is interested in microscopic color variances in (mostly) narrow bands, often with an ever-opening form. She is interested in the elemental/spectral interaction between tones and their shadows, between beings. She works with the phenomenological dimensions of quiet perceptual/sensual layers moving in and out of presence, as a being moving in space.

Bryan Eubanks (b. 1977, WA.) is a musician focused on collaborative improvisation, solo musical projects, and generative sound installations. Primarily active within the traditions of experimental and live electronic music, he works with unstable instruments of his own design that incorporate open-circuits, samplers, radio transmission, feedback, digital synthesis, the soprano saxophone, and other acoustic instruments. His compositions and installations involve practical research into computer music, generative composition, electronics, and sound localization in an effort to bring into being situations that examine transformations in the perception of sonic space/time.

Zong! washes up from the deeps onto the shoals of memory. A meditation in poetry on history,loss, mourning and redemption, it floats on the skin of memory, explores the tension between word and silence and explodes into notes of remembering. M. NourbeSe Philip - author of Zong!

at SOMEWHERE THERE (Toronto)
$10, 8pm-10pm

i) HYBRID FREQUENCY
 Hybrid Frequency is a solo project from Colombian Yecid Ortega. Experimentation with different sources, mostly natural and organic including Latin-American folk instruments such as “quenas” and “ocarinas” among others to give color and texture to the subtle soundscapes that overlay the noisy walls made by many different tools such as synthesizers, made electronic devices, computer software, effect pedals and field recordings. Sometimes harsh and sometimes drone , ambient or sometimes experimental.

http://www.livestream.com/ruidolatino

ii) THE KNOT
  Nick Storring  and Tilman Lewis are errant classical cellists. With allegiance to both form and freedom, we embark on sonic explorations that are rooted in folk traditions, new musics, and an experimental pop sensibility. We love to subvert the instrument's lyricism, drawing not so much on extended techniques as on an array of audacious contra-techniques. A Knot performance ventures into demanding territory. But almost despite ourselves, an elemental beauty shines through.
http://nickstorring.wordpress.com/music-projects/the-knot/

iii) ISO
[Experimental Electronica]
Music for the regeneration of the ISO. Listener and a healthy love. ISO of your ears, they stop thinking about food and music, I feed. ISO is a vision of man. Voice in the life of this vision is to provide a variety of ways. It was not my game is not an option. http://www.isound.com/#/IS0

* Note: the ROMAN PILATES set originally scheduled for this evening has been postponed until Monday June 11th.

NEW POSITIONS (Neil Rankin)

Neil Rankin (Gay, Foxfire, plus way more!) gets way out with his solo manifestations. Anti-beat poetry meets sludge rhythm jams. Dirty synth tones and bass loops buckle under each others weight. Free sax notes bubble from the deep. Literary hopes weave in & out of dark pulsating drone textures, abstract rhythm communicates with human speech patterns.

NOBUO KUBOTA & DAVID SAIT

In 1969, Nobuo Kubota abandoned a 10-year career in architecture to devote himself fully to sculpture and music. He pursued his late-night associations with a group of Toronto artists and musicians who, individually and collectively, were pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. From 1962 through 1976 he played saxophone with the Artist’s Jazz Band in Toronto.  They released four albums in two-record sets.  In 1974 he joined the Toronto free improvisation band known as CCMC (Canadian Creative Music Collective) and began experimenting with making sounds using a variety of ordinary objects including children’s toys.
Abstract expressionist musician, sculptor, sound poet, architect, videographer, zen buddhist, performance artist and 2009 Governor General’s Award recipient.  Nobuo Kubota’s creative riffs resonate through all disciplines. He currently lives and works in Toronto, Ontario.

Nobuo will be joined by David Sait on Chinese zither (guzheng) www.guzheng.ca in their first meeting.
