a bit 'o' news... ...a bunch 'o' new tour dates here! We will be playing live to the 1922 silent film, 'Nanook Of The North', at the TIFF Lightbox Theatre in Toronto, Ontario (June 21). Tanya Tagaq, Jean Martin and I will play to the film, along with a soundscore created by Juno Award winning composer Derek Charke! I recently worked on (w/ violin, viola, cello, mandolin, etc.) albums for the likes of Alan Doyle, Stars, Mother Mother & The Crackling. Look for these in 2012! Songlines will release the debut recording by Haram, led by Gord Grdina, sometime soon! The 10-piece band features a combo of some of Vancouver's more prominent improvising & Arabic musicians. I take the chair of the violinist on this one! Victo Records recently released a CD of a live performance I did with Tanya Tagaq at the 2010 Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville! The album also has Jean Martin on the drumkit! You can get a copy for yourself directly from me here, or from Actuelle CD! Here are some reviews of the album! ...some of my string stuff appears on the current Dan Mangan recording 'Oh Fortune'! Check it out, it's a great record! ...here are some live reviews of the Dawson City Music Festival! Our set (Tanya Tagaq) was hailed as "a 40-minute piece of improvisation that was intimate, sensual, terrifying, beautiful, ugly, shrieking and cathartic." by Exclaim! and a "remarkable performance" by The Line of Best Fit! Here is my incomplete, but pretty good, discography at albumcredits.com! Take 'er easy.
