Cloud Circuit (Montreal, QC)
https://cloudcircuit.net
https://cloudcircuit.bandcamp.com/
Cloud Circuit is: Deanna Radford - deconstructed word events, Jeremy Young - sine waves + amplified surfaces & objects, and Philippe Vandal - sax + electrons. It is communication breakdown. It is broken speech. It is contact lost. Cloud Circuit is the grey area of connection. Those lost threads. The dropped cell reception and technology failures in the night. Cloud Circuit is out of reach and very close.
In performance, Cloud Circuit’s approach is collaborative and improvisational. Its sound — composed, dissected, and refracted. The ensemble has included Alexandre St-Onge and Jesse Perlstein (Sontag Shogun). Cloud Circuit has shared the stage with David Grubbs, Ora Clementi (crys cole & James Rushford), Christopher Tignor, Flying Hórses, Skin Tone, and Alex Zhang Hungtai, among others.
Dimitri Georgaras (Ottawa, ON)
https://dimitrigeorgaras.bandcamp.com
Dimitri Georgaras is an Ottawa-based sound artist, instrument-builder and practitioner. He is currently studying electrical engineering and electroacoustic music composition, with his passion lying in the intersection of the two.
Dimitri performs using self-built electronics to create complex feedback loops, pushing the circuitry into regions of instability which blossoms into a breadth of idiosyncratic sounds that range from bird calls to jackhammers and anything in-between. Dimitri’s feedback works stem from a research project he conducted for the Queen’s Sonic Arts Studio, exploring the history and practice of electronic feedback as a method of sound synthesis and composition.
Faizal Deen (Ottawa, ON)
http://smallaxe.net/sxsalon/poetry-prose/poems-faizal-deen
Faizal Deen, a pioneering voice in Caribbean queer poetry, will 'sing' lists of memory that occur in the interstices of the adolescent migrant's mind. Their most recent book, The Greatest Films (2016), was an Ottawa Book Award finalist in 2017.
Doors at 19:00, show at 19:30
