Silence CALendar

Sonic Oasis invites you to experience spellbinding ambient vibes with an edge: handpan grooves, ethereal vocals, dynamic bass and percussion, overlaid with otherworldly guitar and a host of other instruments, complemented by mesmerizing projected visuals. Sonic Oasis features Jocelyn Drainie on handpan, percussion and vocals; Sally Ludwig on handpan and vocals; Christine Mills on guitar, violin, flutes and more; and Stephen Vickery on electric and upright bass and vocals, with special guest Davrielle on vocals and keys.

Darryl Cremasco: Darryl holds a Bachelor of Music in Piano from Wilfrid Laurier University and a Masters of Music in Conducting from Memorial University of Newfoundland. Darryl has participated in many improvisation events including Sound Symposium in St. John’s, NL. As a piano teacher, he incorporates improvisation and composition in lessons. Tonight, Darryl will be sharing original works mixed with improvisation on acoustic piano. 

Piers Oolvai and friends: Piers Oolvai is the marvellous noble persona of Nicholas Cooper bringing out his spontaneous queer essence to the fore with minimalistic soundscapes of post-progressive melodic ambiance and avant-garde improvisations, casted with his effected clarinet, extended effect pedal techniques in tandem, and a growing arsenal of other unique instruments. Piers will be joined by Vanessa Gemme and Vik Mudge who are exploring the intersection of movement and sound.

Time permitting, we’ll end the evening’s cosmic odyssey with a communal jam to transport us back to the home planet!

This event is a fundraiser for Silence! 🙂
