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.

Erich Barganier: "Geisslerlieder" Album Release Show

w/guests Emmanuel Jacob Lacopo, Patrick O'Reilly and Andrew Noseworthy

La Sala Rossa

4848 Boul. Saint-Laurent, Montréal, QC, Canada

Erich Barganier (he/him) is a composer &

multi-instrumentalist who writes music that explores

experimental technology, the edge of noise,

improvisation, generative processes, and new forms

of notation. Recent collaborators include Mark

Stewart, Noise Catalogue, BlackBox Ensemble,

House on Fire & Instruments of Happiness.

Barganier's new album is a grotesque antithesis to the stereotypical “guitar god,” centered on the idea of masculine failure through the lens of the electric guitar solo. All of the guitars on the album are prepared, digitally manipulated, detuned, struck with hammers, combs, and pipes; and all performed by the composer.

The fragility of the "ideal" masculine image based on strength drives the downward-spiral narrative of the record– a flailing and helpless dance rooted in tight, restrictive form that slowly breaks apart over the course of five tracks.

"Geisslerlieder" is available everywhere August 3rd. For more info about the album and to preorder visit: https://peopleplacesrecords.bandcamp.com/.../geisslerlieder

longing for _, the debut album of Toronto-based percussionist Yang Chen manages to do the unthinakable: showcase their audacious eclecticism, sharp curatorial sensibility, and exceptional skill all at the same time. As such, Chen is right at home on the celebrated cross-border imprint People Places Records, a label known for embracing young, vibrant artists operating loosely within the bounds of contemporary composition.

longing for _ includes collaborations with one of People Places’ head honchos, guitarist-composer Andrew Noseworthy alongside other respected (and largely emerging) talent such as Yaz Lancaster, Connie Li, Jason Doell, Sara Constant, Sarian Sankoh, Stephanie Orlando and Charles Lutvak. On it, Chen performs on everything from bicycle to steel pan evoking styles that span elegiac R&B to full-on electroacoustic abstraction.
