Switched On Synths & Improvising Musicians of Ottawa/Outaouais present an evening of Strings, Synths & Soundscapes.
TALL SHADOWS (MTL Ambient/Drone/Electronic)
Electronic, ambient, and neo-classical. TALL SHADOWS is a slow drift through nightmarescapes of great beasts in murky twilight. An electronic armature with lush acoustic strings braided through synth organs & sparse vocals. The album “In the End” is a meditation on isolation, timeless emptiness, latent mysticism, and the desire to disappear.
PARAPHONIQUE (Gatineau Granular & Modular Hypnosis)
Live analog / ambient modular synth from one of the area’s most talented electronic music makers. For fans of synthesizer-based krautrock/space music. Take the trip.
DAY OF NIAGARA (Ottawa Improvised Guitar Experiments)
Day of Niagara is the latest project of Ottawa's David Jackson. He is a sound artist and educator working primarily withexperimental and improvised analog and digitally processed guitar and field recordings. David also happens to be a Programming Director at Improvising Musicians of Ottawa/Outaouais.
