SUMMARY:PULSE - Cluster Festival
DESCRIPTION:Jason Tait\, Debashis Sinha\, Compost \nA triple-feature concert with Debashis Sinhas\, Jason Tait and Compost that explores the meditative\, trance-inducing power of sound. Sinhas’ quadraphonic sound performance\, Rückstreuung\, uses the principles of subharmonic synthesis to create an immersive sound field for the audience\, responding in real time to the architecture and the interplay of frequencies. This improvised performance interacts with the moment to offer a hearing experience that is rooted in traditions of meditation and active listening. Jason Tait will be premiering a new work\, a series of structured improvisations for modular and analog synthesizers\, sculpting an all enveloping sound bath for listeners to lose themselves in. Compost will be premiering\, Decomposed\, a multi-movement through-composed work for Fender Rhodes\, electric bass\, drums\, spoken word samples\, and projected time-lapse photography. Collective improvisations will be recorded and then decomposed into harmonically simple\, polyrhythmic cellular motifs\, mimicking the connective roles of mycelium.\nBuy Tickets | WECC

SUMMARY:Anton Tymoshenko | Underground StandUp
DESCRIPTION:“FIRST IN THE USA AND CANADA – STAND-UP COMEDY BY ANTON TYMOSHENKO!\nAttention! Location changed!\nThe performance will take place at the West End Cultural Center. All purchased tickets remain valid.\nAnton Tymoshenko is one of the most prominent Ukrainian stand-up comedians. He graduated from the philosophy faculty\, where he wrote a thesis on how humor contextualizes political discourse. He is a resident of “Underground Stand-Up” – Ukraine’s largest stand-up project.\nAnton Tymoshenko became the first Ukrainian stand-up comedian to fill the largest concert venue in Kyiv and Ukraine – the Palace “Ukraine”.\nEven before the war\, Anton became known to audiences for his political stand-up. After the start of full-scale invasion\, Anton aimed at an international audience\, recording two 15-minute videos in English to draw attention to the war and raise funds for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. His performances became not only informational but also an attempt to enter a new market. Foreign media reached out to Tymoshenko for interviews\, including David Letterman.\nIn May-June 2024\, Anton will embark on his first charity tour of North America\, for which he is writing a new program. It will be about corruption\, Work & Travel\, machine uprising\, economy\, empathy in war\, and drugs\, so the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) might provide security. The tour has a serious charitable mission – all 100% of the proceeds will be directed to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces\, so we invite everyone to the concerts!\nAll ages show. Parental guidance is suggested. Explicit content.”\n  \nAnton Tymoshenko | Underground StandUp | Winnipeg Tickets in Winnipeg\, MB\, Canada (ticketleap.com)

SUMMARY:SOLTWAIN - Solhounds play Shania Twain
DESCRIPTION:They call themselves heavy-metal grunge\, only because there’s no other way to describe their gritty\, gut-ripping\, brand of stoner rock. The combatant energy this band radiates on stage is one you can’t dismiss. You’ll drop your phone\, dig into the old\, angsty feelings you thought you left behind\, raise your devil horns\, and head bang at all things corporate\, bigoted\, and unjust.\nSolhounds drives a movement of equality and empowerment; one where a five-foot-three-inch woman could stone a giant with the martial punch of her guttural\, smoky vocals. Delivering songs from the perspective of the underestimated and under-appreciated\, breaking free from the ideas of right-wing prejudice\, capitalism\, and misogyny\, crowds will be activated with unapologetic lyrics over massive grooves\, sludgy tones\, and doom heaviness.\nAfter a five-year hiatus the Winnipeg-based band is returning to stages to reintroduce a message that has more meaning\, today\, than it ever did.\n  \nTICKETS SOLHOUNDS Reunion Show!!

SUMMARY:Abigail Lapell - 'Anniversary' Album Release Tour
DESCRIPTION:Toronto songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Abigail Lapell returns with Anniversary\, an evocative collection of original love songs. Produced with Great Lake Swimmers’ Tony Dekker\, the album was recorded at 200-year-old St Mark’s Church in Niagara-on-the-Lake\, Ontario. Dekker helped shape the sessions’ spooky\, resonant sound and also lent his voice to a couple of spellbinding duets. \nLapell’s deft lyrics jostle with love song tropes\, grappling with love’s finitude and the irony of how codependency and longing are revered in popular music. A ghost story is woven through the album: waltzing in the dusty barroom country of “Blue Blaze\,” buried in the superstitious lyrical streak of “Rattlesnake” and audible in a wheezing organ as it shuts down at the end of “Footsteps.” Still\, Anniversary emerges as an earnest celebration of commitment. Earworms like “Anniversary Song” and “Someone Like You” showcase intricately layered harmonies\, while closer “Stars” affirms that there’s no place the speaker would rather be than with the one she loves. \nDekker and Lapell assembled a stellar cast of musicians to support Lapell’s powerhouse vocals\, piano\, harmonica and signature fingerstyle guitar. The core band includes Dan Fortin on bass\, Jake Oelrichs on drums\, and Tania Gill on the church’s piano\, harpsichord and organ. Rounding out the ensemble’s sensitive orchestral country-jazz arrangements are Rebecca Hennessy (trumpet)\, Rachael Cardiello (viola)\, Michael Davidson (marimba and vibraphone) and Joe Lapinsky (pedal steel)\, who also engineered and mixed the record. Lapell has garnered three Canadian Folk Music Awards\, hit number one on Canadian folk radio and reached a staggering 40 million + streams on Spotify alone. She tours widely across Canada and the U.S. \nAnniversary is out May 10\, 2024 on Outside Music. \nTICKETS: Abigail Lapell – ‘Anniversary’ Album Release Tour Tickets\, Sun\, 21 Apr 2024 at 8:00 PM | Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra - Ellington's Great Paris Concert
DESCRIPTION:In the early 1960’s an extended stay in Paris was particularly fruitful for Duke Ellington and his musicians. The iconic bandleader would score and star in a movie\, write and record an album and perform a memorable concert at the L’Olympia. That concert was recorded and released nearly a decade later – titled The Great Paris Concert – and is truly one of the great live band performances of all time. Join the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra as we celebrate that magical evening with performances of Kinda Dukish\, Rockin’ in Rhythm and other classics from the set-list of Ellington’s Great Paris Concert.\nTICKETS Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra (arts-people.com)
