في هذا العدد

DEBBY FRIDAY (on the cover) is one of the most restless, exciting artists working in experimental music; she describes her work as synthesis of divergent theories and sounds. Anna Höstman’s works for notable large and small ensembles and solo performers are of a decidedly original and personal origin. Araz Salek has devoted much of his practice to exploring the Iranian classical repertoire, but he’s no traditionalist. Saxophonist, composer, and arts administrator Olivia Shortt is devoted to creating freewheeling, safe, collaborative spaces. Suddenly Listen is a Halifax-based presenter of exploratory, improvised, multidisciplinary chamber music. Performer, composer, and researcher Anoush Moazzeni uses digital processing, visuals, and mechanical systems to reimagine the piano. Spotlights on Matthew Cardinal and Morgan-Paige Melbourne; choreographer Kevin A. Ormsby and composer David Bontemps discuss a new work for National Ballet of Canada. Also: a profile of the label Telephone Explosion: explorations with Hum, a new Toronto soundwalk zine; Any Night of The Week: a D.I.Y. History of Toronto Music 1957–2001 book review; and lots of recording reviews!
