SSXXII Evening Concert Series: Loopstitch and Tiber & John Oliver
Advertisement
Day 2 of SSXXII! Come to our Evening Concert with Loopstitch and Tiber & John Oliver!
LSPU Hall
Doors at 7pm, Show at 7:30pm!
Thrilled to have a new commission from Nicole Lizee, Loopstitch features violist Kate Read and sound engineer/artist Michelle LaCour, frequent collaborators since their first artistic foray together during Sound Symposium XIX (July 2018). The two have since taken every opportunity to expand upon their creative efforts, exploring a sonic world comprised of amplified viola; looping, reverb, and delay pedals; synthesizers; and found sounds recorded in nature around the province. Loopstitch use many different elements as starting points to their improvisations, a look into detailed minutiae, a favourite chord or sequence, or something spontaneous. Loopstitch has performed at numerous festivals in NL and Ontario, including Electric Eclectics, Hold Fast, Sound Symposium and the CMC. In 2024 they were awarded the Gerry Porter Award for Creative Improvised Music. Their work has recently moved into live sound design for theatre productions.
Tiber is a multi-instrumentalist modular synthesis sound designer based in St John's NL. He is an active collaborator with many artists in the music and visual arts communities. You will also likely find him on stage, wielding a bass or electric guitar alongside St. John's finest musicians. At Sound Symposium 2022 Tiber received the Gerry Porter Award for Creative Improvised Music.
John Oliver's “wonderfully, creative music” (Fanfare) displays “a delicate yet often complex sense of beauty” (Musicworks). Oliver has an international reputation as a composer and electronic musician. He has performed as guitarist and electronic musician with the Vancouver Symphony, and in concerts across Canada and abroad. His music has been heard in performances in Europe, Asia and the Americas and appears on over 40 commercial and independent releases. His work ""El Reposo del Fuego"" for DX7 and soundscapes won the Grand Prize at the CBC's 8th Young Composers' Competition. Oliver performs on touch-plate and circuit-bending synthesizers, and granular and resynthesis sound processors that allow him to process amplified sounds, creating washes of every-shifting, multi-layered soundscapes. He currently performs solo concerts, as well as in duo with Douglas Schmidt (bandoneon), and in the trio Squid in Chains, which adds François Houle (clarinet & electronics) to the duo.
