Silence Presents: TOC

Sunday April 7, 2019

Toc invited Dave Rempis to join the trio in February 2018 for the release concert of “Will Never Play These Songs Again” at the malterie, Lille France. The meeting is instantaneous, the agreement immediate. Could it be otherwise?
The saxophonist is today a Chicago free-jazz figure, after having studied ethnomusicology in Ghana, which is reflected in his Percussion Quartet where his stormy saxophones blow on the embers of untenable rhythms. But it was within the Vandermark 5 that he made his name, before embarking on his own projects such as The Engines, Ballister or the trio he is currently forming with Joshua Abrams and Avreeayl Ra.
Toc like not to define themselves… Tirelessly searching since their creation in 2008 where the practice of improvisation will lead them, the three musicians multiply forms and encounters, like to get lost in aesthetics and styles, disturb the landmarks. As their name seems to indicate, Toc’s members are quite obsessive and even compulsive. Their frenetic, ritualized but non-contagious behaviors bring the listener in a hectic space-time before bringing him back to the mainland in a more or less troubled state.
In addition to their taste for improvisation without barriers or eyes, Toc and Dave Rempis share a communicative energy and power, play the density and the organic and joyful trance.

Andrew Downing’s Otterville

“…superb arrangements that blur the instrumental tones into a dream-like luminescent whole.” All About Jazz

Otterville is Andrew Downing’s foray into the complex simplicity of his ancestral Tobacco Belt lineage. The music is nostalgic, evocative, peaceful and humourous, finding influence from Kurt Weill, Billy Strayhorn, Erik Satie and Bill Frisell. The magical layering of lap steel guitar, vibraphone, cello, saxophone, bass and drums creates the backdrop for the subtleness of the music to quietly squeeze the listener into emotional submission. The group’s debut double CD, simply called Otterville, was released in 2016 to critical acclaim including a JUNO nomination.

featuring

Andrew Downing – cello

Christine Bougie – lap steel

Michael Davidson – vibraphone

Tara Davidson – alto saxophone

Paul Mathew – bass

Nick Fraser – drums

Silence Presents: John Kameel Farah

Thursday April 18, 2019

Doors: 7:30 PM
Show: 8:00 PM
$15.00

Berlin-based composer, pianist and visual artist will be playing at the Guelph Jazz Festival later this year, and as a prelude to this he’ll be presenting a show at Silence in two parts. The first half will be his compositions for piano, synthesizers and electronics, which draw upon aspects of Early Music, Arabic Music, improvisation and beat-driven electronics. As John is also a visual artist, the show will also be a small exhibition of his intricate ink line drawings, and the second half of the concert will feature Farah improvising to projected animations of his artwork.
