Elastic Recordings Presents:Inhabiting and Releasing Spontaneous Structures
/\/\ A workshop and concert exploring themes of improvising, composing, spontaneity, and the melding of genres /\/\
The Plastic Waste Bandis an experimental rock band born from the jazz community of Montréal, Canada. This is a band in the truest sense: longtime collaborators who fly into psychedelic group improvisations on the wings of finely tuned compositions /\/\
Michael Davidson & Bjorn Kriel are a toronto-based mallet percussion duo w/electronics growing out of jazz but departing freely into unknown universes while rigorous structures are built and simultaneously knocked into oblivion /\/\
Aline Homzyis an award-winning violinist and composer. Originally from Montréal, born to a Québécois mom and American dad with Eastern-European roots. Aline's original music reflects her culturally-diverse background running the gamut from jazz to ghost to space /\/\
This will be a two part event with a workshop and open discussion featuring the artists from 3pm-4:30pm. Musicians are encouraged to bring their instruments as there will be opportunities to perform with and/or help the artists display concepts throughout the session /\/\
This will be followed by an evening concert from 8pm-10:30pm. Doors will open at 7pm. There will be light snacks provided free of charge /\/\
