Saturday, January 11th at the NAC Fourth Stage

Ottawa’s own cello powerhouse Raphael Weinroth-Browne releases his haunting and otherworldly debut solo album Worlds Within.

Having been an integral creative force in groups such as The Visit, Musk Ox, and Kamancello, and having recorded and toured extensively with Norwegian progressive rock/metal band Leprous, this new solo effort sees Weinroth-Browne exploring his cellistic voice even further. Worlds Within takes full advantage of the possibilities of the instrument; all of the sounds on the album - melodies, harmonies, riffs, textures, and even percussion - were created on cello with amplification and effects pedals.

Worlds Within is a single composition divided into 10 tracks which play out like movements in a classical variation set. The music itself, however, ranges from ethereal and atmospheric to aggressive and intense during the album's 40 minute run time, combining elements reminiscent of contemporary classical minimalism, metal, post-rock, and even electronic music while retaining its own distinct sonic language. It is a cinematic sound painting that plays on the listener’s perception of time, evolving gradually and fluidly, but always in motion, much like the mesmerizing cover artwork by Heather Sita Black (The Visit).

This "evening with" concert at the esteemed NAC Fourth Stage will be the first opportunity to purchase Worlds Within in physical format prior to its official release on January 24, 2020.

Unsociably High - Live in Studio Canadian
https://unsociablyhigh.bandcamp.com/

Unsociably High is a smooth, easy listening, Indie Pop duo from Ottawa, Canada comprised of vocalist Tiffany Wallace and guitarist Brendon Bartlett. Connecting in the heart of Ottawa, Brendon and Tiffany found an instant bond to one another. Exploring different aspects from life experiences and relationships, their music is quick to paint a picture of self- actualization. Inspired by various song writing techniques such as Bossa rhythm, Funk arrangements, and incorporating the use of loop stations, it leaves them with a contemporary style of music. Currently working on debut singles with a release date in 2019, they then set their sights on touring and creating for years to come.
