SARAH PAGÉ (www.sarahpageharp.com)
Montreal based Sarah Pagé (The Barr Brothers, Lhasa de Sela, Esmerine, etc.) presents her solo debut album of experimental Harp compositions, Dose Curves, to be released on October 11th on Halifax label Backward Music - a mesmerizing sonic journey through a five-track suite, that is also experienced as an equally entrancing and stunning instrumental live performance.
JONI VOID (http://cstrecords.com/joni-void/)
Montreal based music concrete / avant pop artist Joni Void (Constellation Records) celebrates the release of his latest album Mise en Abyme - an introspective, emotional time-travel experiment and "avant-electronic" sound collage, a multi-fold puzzle of samples & field-recordings amid electronic rhythms and intoxicating vocals. Joni Void weaves layers of samples, including piano phrases and fielding recordings into an intricate dance of snipped beats, sweeping loops and subtle jingles. Haunting flourishes become beautiful beats. Abstract rhythms are born out of glitched electronics alongside the swaying reverberations.
JOYFUL JOYFUL (https://thatjoyfulsound.tumblr.com/)
Toronto / Peterborough avant vocal & electronics duo create strange & beautiful soundscapes. Pulling influence from traditional & spiritual vocal musics and merging those with experimental ambient & drone sensibilities. Powerful drone hymns dig up melancholic emotions searching for a hopefully note in a sombre reality.

Burn Down The Capital & Heavy Trip present:
OLIVER COATES
ACT!
@ The Garrison (1197 Dundas St. West)
9pm, $15/$20
OLIVER COATES (https://olivercoates.bandcamp.com)
UK cellist & producer Oliver Coates creates beat driven sonic landscapes that sit somewhere between ambient, contemporary classical, and forward thinking electronic dance music. His sound & approach are grounded in live cello manipulation, with other samples & synth tones morphing into new realities as he weaves it all together. Dubbed out delays and distorted synth rumbles worm around his hauntingly beautiful effected cello work. Beyond his solo career he has played with Radiohead, Terry Riley, Steve Reich & Actress. He lands in Toronto for the first time supporting his solo LP "Shelley's on Zenn-La" on RVNG Intl. as well as a recording of John Luther Adams’ Canticles of the Sky.
ACT! (https://actactact.bandcamp.com)
ACT! is a new project from Toronto-based composer, producer and sound artist David Psutka. Building on a complex body of work as Egyptrixx, Ceramic TL, Anamai and various other collaborations, ACT! represents a new chapter of creative output from Psutka. The material is of a universal mind; new psychedelia braided with ecstatic groove - a pastiche of physical sound and kaleidoscope mind. The aesthetic toggles between density and empty air; inwardness and unity. Indebted in spirit to the masters of psychic jazz, like Yusef Lateef and Cecil Taylor, as much as to the euphoria of the club, this music declares concrete expression and total significance. The debut album Universalist was released in July, 2018 on Halocline Trance (CAN).

Burn Down The Capital presents:
AMI DANG
KAT ESTACIO
MEMORY PEARL
@ Burdock (1184 Bloor St. West)
9pm, $10/$12
AMI DANG (https://www.amidang.com)
Baltimore based vocalist, electronic artist & sitar player Ami Dang takes classical indian music modes & melds them with dark avant pop electronics. Her voice infectious like a fog, drifts everywhere through her compositions. Electronic glitched beats & manipulated drones sweat out hints of avant garde noise textures, subdued as they dance with silky sitar tones and Ami's soaring full bodied vocals. Her latest album "Parted Plains" sees Dang dive deep into a world of layered sitar textures morphed into ambient landscapes through twisting electronics. Intricate sound worlds blossom & decay as Ami weaves wavering notes & dissonant hums together in a beautiful marriage of strange melodies.
KAT ESTACIO
Tkaronto (Toronto)-based Kat Estacio blends delicate, abstract electronics with the traditional gong music of the Philippines to produce an engrossing, mirage-like listening experience.
MEMORY PEARL (https://www.instagram.com/memory_pearl/)
Moshe Fisher-Rozenberg of Absolutely Free unveils his latest solo project Memory Pearl. Waves of gentle synth tones curl over each other in tranquil motion. Sombre piano notes birth a more frenetic synthetic dance as tape loops speed up. Blurred electronic shredding decays into the a sparse yet joyful sonic landscape. Moshe borrows some of his language from krautrock & minimalism, while filling in the rest with nods to contemporary avant electronics and modern composition. Futuristic music that looks to the past, Memory Pearl is a meditative journey into the active dreamscape.
