FRIDAY, AUGUST 31ST @ The Revue Cinema (400 Roncesvalles Ave.) - 7pm - $12-$30 - All Ages
Intersection, the Music Gallery and the Revue Cinema present
Suzanne Ciani, performance and screening of A Life In Waves + Louise Campbell
Part of the Departures Series
Curated by Tad Michalak
Intersection at Yonge Dundas Square, which takes place on Saturday of every Labour Day weekend, is curated by Tad Michalak. He’s also the curator of our Departures Series, and we’re always pleased to combine our efforts to present special ancillary programming to the main outdoor event. This year we welcome the legendary Suzanne Ciani to Toronto for a screening of her biographical film A Life In Waves followed by a Suzanne Ciani live in concert with an opening set by Montreal-based clarinettist Louise Campbell.
Ciani, one of the most imaginative exponents of the Buchla synthesizer, is a five-time Grammy award nominated composer, electronic music pioneer, and neo-classical recording artist whose work has been featured in countless commercials, video games, and feature films. Over the course of her career, she has released 15 solo albums, including “Seven Waves,” “The Velocity of Love,” and most recently, the live electronic album retrospective, “Buchla Concerts 1975.” as well as providing the voice and sounds for Bally’s groundbreaking “Xenon” pinball machine. A Life In Waves was released in 2017, bringing Ciani’s artistry to a new generation.
Louise Campbell wears many hats, from clarinettist to conductor, community arts facilitator to musicians’ health therapist. As a performer, improviser and composer, Louise seeks to interrogate and renew the ways in which we make music by creating new works with everyone, regardless of age, ability, level of prior experience, or training. Whether acoustic, or electronically augmented as she is here, Campbell is constantly testing the capabilities of her instrument and herself.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1ST @ Yonge-Dundas Square (1 Dundas St. E) - 2-10pm - FREE - All Ages
Intersection Day 2 featuring
THE COSMIC RANGE (https://soundcloud.com/ideefixerecords/sets/the-cosmic-range-new-latitudes)
Toronto boggie psych big band brainchild of Matthew "Doc" Dunn featuring a who's who corral of Toronto's finest players including, Kieran Adams (Diana), Brandon Valdivia (NTW,NTF / Lido Pimienta), Mike "Muskox" Smith (Jennifer Castle, Sandro Perri), Jonathan Adjemian, Max "Slim Twig" Turnbull, Andy Haas (John Zorn), and Isla Craig (U.S. Girls, IC/JC/VC). Spacious psych grooves build into trance like passages where the flowing rhythm is king. Dual percussionists move effortlessly as one, while Dunn's organ tones float over top, mingling with crunching guitar notes, and purring saxophone. Mangled guitar fuzz parades with sprinkles of electronics. This is an ensemble in constant motion, the ultimate avant groove band, bringing the deepest funk laden with a chaotic energy. Sounding half like some lost 70's spiritual psych funk LP, and half like music for the spaceways!
TONSTARTSSBANDHT (https://tonstartssbandht.bandcamp.com)
Florida based duo of brothers Andy & Edwin create minimalism influenced psych garage punk. The stripped down duo of guitar & drums with both filling in on vocal duties builds entrancing structures of out these rudimentary elements. Beautiful vocal moments fill valleys as the songs move from ripping guitar riffing psych jams to soulful, almost mystical devotional hymns. Guitar passages chase their tails amidst seemingly free form meandering, only to land back onto the sweetest notes. Driving drum patterns with flashing cymbal flares fuel this avant rock shred session. Meditative chords, soft yet angular move with ease under languid mantra like vocals, and swift rhythms. Vocals slip into effects as the brother ramp up their cosmic connection. Seriously one of the best contemporary rock bands of our time. Beautiful, aggressive, spiritual, trance inducing rippers. What more can you ask for?
NADJA (https://nadja.bandcamp.com)
Toronto via Berlin doom / drone metal duo of Aidan Baker & Leah Buckareff return to their home turf for what is sure to be a heavy performance. Guitar notes waver & glisten amidst a sea of rumbling bass drones. Like a caustic current from the deep, warped patterns emerge amongst oppressive walls of articulated feedback. Harsh becomes meditative. New record "Sonnborner" out September 4th!
INSECT ARK (http://insectark.bandcamp.com/)
Brooklyn psychedelic doom duo of Dana Schechter (ex-Angels Of Light) on bass / lap steel and Ashley Spungin on drums / electronics return to Toronto in support of their new record "Marrow Hymns" on Profound Lore. Spiraling lap steel notes tangle themselves into a impenetrable web over prodding drum patterns. Crawling forward with the weight of the world. Masses of decaying frequencies, let the avalanches of distortion & refraction envelop themselves as they twist & bend like scrap metal. Heavy bass notes fill in a meditatively heavy sonic experience.
PANTAYO (https://pantayo.bandcamp.com)
Toronto gong ensemble Pantayo creates music grounded in the kulintang traditions of Maguindanaon & T'boli peoples of the Philippines. Merging traditional sounds with synthesizers & drum machines their music lives in a space between sonic worlds. Rhythmically driven Pantayo's compositions still feel spacious and light. Pop influenced vocals dance with the timbres of their gongs.
CRAIG DUNSMUIR'S DUN DUN BAND
Composer, guitarist, DJ, Toronto musical master mind Craig Dunsmuir (Glissandro 70, Kanada 70, Off World collaborator) bring his Dun Dun Band out from hibernation. The rhythmically multifaceted ensemble pulls influence from ethio-jazz, funk, and spiritual jazz merging it with more free form elements from the avant world. Dunsmuir's trademark playfulness is at work here as multiple percussionists and saxophone players create a complex realm of textures over songs subtly egged on by synth & guitar concoctions. One of the great avant beat party bands that are still a well kept secret. Not to me missed!
CONTACT (http://www.contactcontemporarymusic.org)
Toronto contemporary classical ensemble feels more like a rock band, or a group of avant jazz experimentalists. In a time of melting genres & lost classification Contact is a shoe in. This year at Intersection they will perform "Root Blood Fractal Breath" by Victoria composer Tina Pearson.
DEENZI (https://deenzi.bandcamp.com)
Toronto duo of Andy Yue (synth / electronics) and Heidi Chan (flute / electronics) create trance like alternative future music that draws influences from new age, ambient, and traditional Chinese musics. Hovering flute drones live above a glitched out panorama of electronic notes and disruptions. Rhythmic synthesized sounds sway with gurgling bleeps, and bouncing sine waves. Verging on meditative Chan & Yue's processed tones reference some alternative future where cyborgs fight to keep their human half alive.
ALLISON CAMERON (http://allisoncameron.com)
Experimental composer & musician Allison Cameron (c_RL) has been part of Toronto's improvised music scene for almost 2 decades. Her work in that realm often centers around various miniature amplifiers, keyboard, electronics, ukuleles, small guitars & other toys. Things crackling in & out, a sort of short circuiting chaos, full of warm tones, bumbling distortion and tin-y sine waves. Sounding like a bunch of joyfully broken children's toys & errant doorbells, radio static and a toy keyboard fight for prominence in Allison's aural ocean. Bleeps & bloops emerge only to sink back into slumber underneath some AM garbling. Cameron's free form sonic lexicon is truly playful.
TINA PEARSON (https://tina-pearson.com)
Victoria based composer & sound artist Tina Pearson presents a site specific installation piece entitled "Carried On Your Winds". Pearson's interactive installation piece will invite those in the square to record their own vocalizations. These new sound bites will be edited and mixed live into existing processed breathe recordings. Her piece will run between sets from 2pm onward.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 2ND @ The Canadian Music Centre (20 St. Joseph St.) - 9pm - $10 - All Ages
Intersection Day 3 featuring:
DUNN/HAAS
Matthew "Doc" Dunn (The Cosmic Range, MV+EE) and Andy Haas (John Zorn, Martha & The Muffins) celebrate the release of their new duo LP "KIM". Both veterans of the avant-garde & improvised music worlds, Dunn drops junkyard percussion amidst Haas' free form sax squalls. Doc later adds radiant organ avant-vamps to Andy's stacked horn textures. A humble dialog between percussion & sax becomes a spiritual jazz influenced burner. The duo weaves a seamless language where effected horn lines quiver over haunting cymbal rattles. Frantic notes build voluptuous structures wily enough to raise the sprits. For fans of Don Cherry, Art Ensemble Of Chicago, etc.
ROUGHHOUSING (http://www.springgardenmusic.com/Roughhousing.htm)
Philly free improv trio of saxophonist Jack Wright, double bassist Evan Lipson (Normal Love, Satanized) & guitarist Zach Darrup speak in an angular yet reserved language. Bass creaks create a foundation for saxophone pops & guitar notes that bounce like rain drops. The trio sounds like an old house settling after a wind storm. Rambunctious moments emerge as guitar notes wrap themselves around bubbling sax lines and opposing bass bows. Dynamic in nature, haunting miniature drones and whispered tones balance out their past fits.
JUNCTQIN (http://junctqin.com)
Toronto based keyboard ensemble junctQín consisting of pianists Elaine Lau, Joseph Ferretti, and Stephanie Chua push the constructs of new music through a focus on living composers contemporary keyboard music. Often presenting compositions that pair grand piano with toy keyboards, electronics, and other non traditional noise makers, the trio lives in space where the contemporary classical meets the avant-garde.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22ND @ Handlebar (159 Augusta Ave) - 9pm - $10/$12
PAUL DE JONG (https://pauldejong.bandcamp.com)
Cellist and collage pop musician Paul de Jong (of the Books) hits the road in support of his newest solo outing "You Fucken Sucker". Pushing further into the franticly rhythmic work he brought to The Books, his solo work dips more into the avant-garde. Collaged voices murmur under squeaking noise electronics & string swells. Balancing out caustic soundscapes with frenetic beats, de Jong creates emotionally heavy compositions with an overwhelming buoyancy & hope. Progged out electronic shredders give way to vocally driven interludes. Paul switches tones and gears, but the human voice is always the unifying elements. The true bedrock of his sonic explorations. Don't miss what is sure to be a stunning performance by this post-Books aural magician.
CHARLES SPEARIN
Charles Spearin of Do Make Say Think (official), Broken Social Scene & The Happiness Project presents a set of solo music. Watch this space for more details on what it might be! It is a mystery!
JONI VOID & SARAH PAGÉ (http://cstrecords.com/joni-void/)
Montreal based music concrete / avant pop artist Joni Void (Constellation Records) teams up with harpist Sarah Pagé. 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. Pagé offers meditative harp notes that breath as they slink through electronic processing, morphing into droning seas. Textural landscapes of scraped strings and heavy humming vibrations.

KEIJI HAINO (https://keijihaino.bandcamp.com)
Japanese avant guitarist and noise legend returns to Toronto for an obviously not to be missed performance. Extreme guitar mastery piercing tones, heavy shredded chords, busted walls of noise. Don't sleep on this heavy hitter!
BRIAN RURYK
Toronto avant garde anti-legend Brian Ruryk is easily one of the city's best kept secrets, Ruryk has been manipulating the concepts of sound since the 80s. Free jangled guitar notes spray over a live collage of junk percussion & chaos. Tape samples squeal out amongst herky jerky clatter of Ruryk’s eclectic set up. Much like the coming together of puzzle pieces in a way in which they do not fit, then experiencing the process in which the puzzler, instead of sorting the pieces, just cuts & mangles them to create a new image.
Co-presented with Electric Eclectics Festival
