JESSICA MOSS (https://jessicamoss.bandcamp.com)
Montreal violinist & vocalist Jessica Moss (Silver Mt. Zion), celebrates the release of her 2nd solo LP "Entanglement" on Constellation Records, following the evolution of her solo music for violin, voice & electronics. Tortured violin loops weave a web of bristly yet comforting fur. Errant vibrations blistering into distorted notes. Beauty finds a way to exist amongst inevitable sorrow. Don't miss what is sure to be an inspiring & introspective performance.
VÖLUR (https://volur.bandcamp.com/)
Toronto folk doom trio featuring members of Blood Ceremony, Do Make Say Think & Gates, merge distorted strings with thundering percussion. Hard treble screeches out over crushing bass, and blood curdling vocals. Sounding like some funeral march anthem from the fiery pits, group vocals unite in an occult hum. Borrowing from post rock, but using the obliterating language of their doom metal forefathers, Völur helps you become one with the flame. CVLT.
QARAFA (https://qarafa.bandcamp.com)
Spacious post-rock meets slow psych jazz quartet features members of Ischemic, Retired, and Horse Lung. Guitar notes ripple out over meandering saxophone paths, as drums ramble forward. Forever prodding forward in a forest of languidity, Qarafa builds a multilayered haze over a creature in constant slow motion. Deep in the zone and looking for the next pathway, notes drift away into the mist. Come on time to check this heavy crew turned meditative.

MARC RIBOT (http://marcribot.com/)
NYC guitar maverick Marc Ribot performs a rare solo set in Toronto. Ribot's legacy has seen him collaborate with Tom Waits, John Zorn, Elvis Costello & a plethora of others. His numerous diverse bands and ensemble projects, plus seven solo releases have worked to define him as one of the most unique and versatile voices on the guitar. From no wave, re-imagined blues, free improvisation, and avant jazz to contemporary composition Ribot moves from one mood to another with careful continuity. Intricate notes float off his strings with a natural abandon. His solo performances see him swim through the menagerie style and genres he's touched on through out his decades of exploration in the avant guitar world.
KEE AVIL (https://keeavil.bandcamp.com/)
Montreal experimental guitarist Vicky Mettler creates mutant compositions from looped guitar noise, angular melodies, creeping vocals and grumbling electronics. Her vocals whisper to rhythmic guitar notes, haunted textures ripple out from her guitar strings. Kee Avil sees Mettler's captivating compositions constructed out of what feels like bits of sonic refuse come to life. A beautiful and dazzling work of assemblage. If you haven't seen Kee Avil her live performance is not to be missed!
