This Tuesday December 16th - Darren Copeland and Lynn Harrigan
with dreamSTATE

The first set features electronic soundscape artists dreamSTATE
(Scott M2 and Jamie Todd) performing a suite of pieces by
Darren Copeland, an electroacoustic composer & sound designer
who has produced work since 1985 for concerts, radio, theatre,
dance and site-specific installation. Darren will be attending to
the mix and will be available for questions after the performance.
Darren is also the Artistic Director of New Adventures in Sound Art,
which produces electroacoustic and experimental sound art events
throughout Toronto, including the wonderful Sound Travels -
presented annually using an 8-channel array of speakers
surrounding the audience. http://www.darrencopeland.net

In the second set poet Lynn Harrigan performs excerpts from
Moon Sea Crossing, a work-in-progress which will culminate 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 1840s and
incorporates themes of displacement, mental illness, hunger,
grief, imprisonment and Irish folklore. dreamSTATE will weave
a series of ambient sound environments to support and expand
on the underlying emotions of the poems.

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.
