Description
We are excited to transform a cavernous 12,000 square foot space into a deep listening setting in which the act of listening becomes a fully embodied experience. This program will feature live performances by local sound artists at the cutting edge of sonic experimentation.
This program is inspired by the reverberations and unique acoustical properties of an industrial warehouse space, along with themes drawn from our concurrent video exhibition, including the mediation of nature through human interference, feelings of uneasiness and instability brought on by climate change.
ARTISTS: Prince Nifty, Driftnote, Felipe Sena
DATE & TIME: Friday October 15th, 10pm - Midnight
TICKETS: Tickets are $20 and go on sale on Friday October 8th. Capacity is limited so be sure to get your ticket before they sell out!
COVID CONTINGENCIES: To ensure a safe experience for our visitors and artists, tickets and proof of vaccination (or medical exemption) paired with a valid photo ID will be required at the door for entry for all guests over the age of 12, masks and physical distancing will be in effect as this is an indoor event.
THE SPACE: 300 Geary Ave. is an industrial warehouse space located on the north side of Geary just west of Dufferin St. The exhibition is on the ground floor which is wheelchair accessible, however it does have an uneven threshold and unfortunately the washroom is not wheelchair accessible. The space is unheated and we recommend dressing for the outdoors.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
PRINCE NIFTY
Prince Nifty is a Toronto-based sound designer, composer and a Grammy nominated producer/musician. He co-produced Lido Pimienta’s Miss Colombia, remixed for Caribou's Suddenly and has collaborated on a great many records and shows. From dance music to choral madrigals, his work covers a broad sonic territory and is as surprising as it is engaging. Look out for his new record, Interplanetary Machines, out this fall on Second Spring records.
DRIFTNOTE
Omar David Rivero, also known as Driftnote, is a musician and multimedia artist born in Venezuela and currently based out of Tkaronto whose work is centred around improvisation, interactivity, audio and visual installations as well as 3D imaging. Rivero explores questions of materiality and embodiment when looking at systems, cultural erasure, and identity in the african/indigenous diaspora. His research is situated in reassessing methodologies of image making, archives, and self-portraiture. (Image below by Francesca Chudnoff)
FELIPE SENA
Felipe Sena is a Brazilian multi-instrumentalist based in Toronto. Bringing influences from the underground São Paulo music scene and Afro-Brazilian traditional rhythms, his body of work revolves around the transcendent nature of music. In his performances, Felipe builds on percussive elements, live instruments, and evolving soundscapes.
