If you’re in the Banff or Calgary area, come out to the première of my new project. Also pass this along to your friends.
For those living too far away to attend, a project website is in the works, with video and audio clips, slated for early 2009.
Performance of Community-Normed at Aberdeen’s Sound Festival
Première of Recycled 80s Live at the Banff Centre for the Arts, a mash-up of ‘80s tunes performed live.
Recycled 80s Live is a collage of small fragments of ‘80s pop songs, recomposed and recontextualized into a new, larger work. I chose this approach because artists have always borrowed material from one another, but copyright is increasingly being abused to prevent borrowing. This situation is a threat to culture and creativity in general and it deserves to receive attention. Additional information, sound clips, a promo video, and other details are available on the project website.
Continuum performed a piece of mine on their SHIFT Festival tour in Europe in November 2008 and Toca Loca performed another as part of the Toronto branch of the festival in February 2009.
