Tuesday Dec. 16th - Darren Copeland and Lynn Harrigan
with dreamSTATE

The first set features dreamSTATE (Scott M2 + Jamie Todd)
performing a suite of pieces by Darren Copeland, an electroacoustic
composer and sound designer who has produced work since 1985
for concerts, radio, theatre, dance and site-specific installation.
Darren will be attending to the mix during the performance and
will be available for questions after the set. Read more at:

In the second set poet Lynn Harrigan performs excerpts from
Moon Sea Crossing, a work-in-progress which will cumulate next
August in a multi-media installation running three months in the
Historic County Gaol in Goderich Ontario. The work is based
on an actual Irish immigrant to Canada in the 1846s and
incorporates themes of displacement, mental illness, hunger,
grief, imprisonment and Irish folklore. dreamSTATE will weave
a series of sound environments to support and expand on the
underlying emotions of the poems. http://www.lynnharrigan.com

Between Sets CD - "Strata" by Robert Rich and Steve Roach
Two of the premier artists in the ambient field worked together
in 1989-90 to create this tribal-ambient classic merging ethnic
& electronic drums, flutes, steel guitar & expansive electronics.
We'll play more of this landmark collaboration after the 2nd set.
