Toronto ON Canada . south side of College west of Spadina . Map, info + directions at: https://www.facebook.com/RatioSpace Tuesday Nov. 17th, 2015 . 8:00PM . 1st set at 9:00 . $8-10 . 9:00 . sLAB . sLAB is a group who use musical instruments to create sound together, but they do not play music, exactly. What they do is craft immersive sound sculptures that their listeners live in for a little while. Situated around the perimeter of the room, the four musicians improvise sounds in strange harmony, exploring the uses of microtonal combinations and acoustic beats. Their tools are electric guitars and basses, played with electromagnetic devices that excite the strings to create very long notes. Each set lasts around 30-45 minutes, and each one is different. sLAB has released several recordings, which are available at: http://slabdrones.bandcamp.com . 10:00 . TOM PRICE . Tom Price finds inspiration in a diverse range of influences, such as Autechre, J.S. Bach, Morton Feldman, and mbira music. His music explores the possibilities of tuning systems outside of 12 tone equal temperament. He will be doing synth keyboard improvisations over shifting drones and pad sounds." . 10:45 . NORTHUMBRIA . Toronto based ambient metal duo Northumbria was formed in 2011 by former Holoscene members Jim Field and Dorian Williamson. Using only guitar and bass mega amplified and recorded live, Northumbria create a wall of improvised drones that take the listener on a sonic journey through a dystopian landscape. In March of 2015 Northumbria released "Helluland", their debut album for Swedish dark ambient label Cryo Chamber. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
