Musicworks 152
ON THE COVER: Inspired by a love of misbehaving musical technologies, Lisa Conway brings her technical skills into her evolving creative process, working with analog synthesizers, reel-to-reel audio, and alphorns (!) sound installation, improvisation, experimental composition, and song. ALSO INSIDE: Performer-composer Kalun Leung—2025 Kranichstein Music Prize winner—takes his trombone into uncharted sonic territory with technology and movement, and invites fellow musicians to join the adventure. Bassist-composer Mali Obomsawin draws from experience in jazz and folk and from her exploration of her Abenaki heritage in ambitious solo and ensemble projects. Composer-percussionist Susie Ibarra—2025 winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Music—opens ears and minds to the rhythms of nature. For his solo project ASKO, Marek Tyler was guided by advisors through a process of cultural exploration that helped him to interpret his ancestors’ teachings through electronic soundscapes. We cozy up with the late-night vibes of Koala Karnival. We review the Manitoba festivals Cluster and Prairie Wires and the book Fela: Music Is the Weapon.
