Electric Sense

Lots of new and upcoming releases this week, Starting with a track from Vortlimpa that is available either from them or the compilation to which it was submitted; they will be playing live at the Tranzac Club in Toronto on July 26th, along with 3 other acts We then went on a trip to the moon thanks to Jack Hertz in celebration of the recent Artemis mission, followed by an odd soundwork from Christof Migone. Game composer McDonald had us Fading into the next set before Ryan Scott presented Kati Agocs' FOMO, which led to Mr. Occhipinti telling us You Stepped Out. Things wrapped up with a quiet piece by R. Grunwald courtesy of Imaginary North.

A sad first half of the show this week, as we paid tribute to Cris Derksen, cellist and composer of Cree and Mennonite heritage, who was tragically killed is a road accident in northern Alberta last weekend. Though they had already achieved so much, there was still promise for more great things ahead. We send condolences to family, friends, and colleagues.

Also on the programme are pieces from recent releases by Jason Noble whose recent Centrediscs CD has many interesting reworkings of Newfoundland songs, stories, and music; the latest release from The Tiny Orchestra, whose enigmatic sounds never cease to entertain; and we finished with an excerpt of a track from the latest Dog Park release out of Perth, Western Australia, by Interzona, making a noisy exit indeed!

As you have no doubt noticed, we are in the ramp-up to our Spring fund-raising week starting May 25th, which means the ES edition will occur on the 27th. If you donate before the 25th, there is a special draw for a prize pack kindly donated by the folks at the Griffin Poetry Prize, which includes two tickets for their gala event, copies of the five short-listed books, and more!
Also, we have two different t-shirt designs this year, both by local artist extraordinaire Runt that are mighty nice! (available at the$120+ level)
Online donations are easiest all 'round, but if that's not your thing there are more traditional options. The important thing is the donation, not the method; even if it's just $5 in nickles. If you listen to the show, regardless of where you may be, a donation of whatever amount not only helps with the upkeep of equipment - such as our new broadcast boards - but show support for the programming. Please keep ES in your thoughts when donating!!

Mostly local things this time around, with great new stuff from Nick, Andre and Hani, Nolan, and Allison, folks not far away in Scott and Neal ({An} Eel), and the outlier Dereck. Fine pieces from all, making for a nicely varied programme.
