Tim Brady — Guitare Électrique @Canada
Le guitariste virtuose et compositeur Tim Brady présente deux concerts qui mettent en lumière la richesse de la création pour guitare électrique à travers le Canada.
La guitare électrique est un instrument voué à la création musicale depuis ses débuts en 1932 – et on ne lâche pas! Ce grand événement sur 2 jours nous présente la création musicale pour guitare électrique à travers le Canada, avec des solistes et compositeurs de Québec, Ontario, Nouvelle-Écosse et Manitoba. Ces concerts feront découvrir une panoplie de styles et d'approches: les influences jazz et folk de Sam Wilson, la musique de chambre avec Instruments of Happiness et ses solistes invités, une musique électro-expérimentale avec Andrew Noseworthy, et 2 pièces solos majeures de Tim Brady. Le concert du 13 novembre sera aussi le lancement du nouvel album double de Tim Brady – For Electric Guitar, sur l'étiquette People Places Records, qui marque le 40ème anniversaire de son premier disque de guitare électrique solo dR.E.aM.s, sorti en 1985.

Rainbow is a post-modern deconstruction and re-imagining of the classic popular song “Over the Rainbow” sung by actress Judy Garland as the character Dorothy Gale and featured in the 1939 movie “The Wizard of Oz.” In the queer community, the song “Over the Rainbow,” the actress Judy Garland, and the character Dorothy Gale function as signifiers and enduring symbols of vulnerability and defiance, both of which are deeply entrenched in queer life. “Over the Rainbow,” Garland and Dorothy represent a sense of utopian wonder and longing for a place where one belongs. The song appears in the movie when Dorothy is in conflict, unable to control her own circumstances. Her aunt tells her to “find yourself a place where you won't get into any trouble" to which Dorothy muses to her small dog Toto, “Do you suppose there is such a place?” and then proceeds to sing “Over the Rainbow.”
The queer community has forever constructed its own “place” both physical and metaphysical, where “trouble” is a slippery and subjective term; where one creates their own reality on their own terms by re- appropriating contemporary culture for their own purposes. A lasting euphemism derived from the film: the ubiquitous “we're not in Kansas anymore" serves as a commentary on the sense of displacement and belonging in a strange yet familiar place of one’s own making.
