Since the advent of the radio transmitter, human beings have been unintentionally broadcasting a record of their existence into space. These radio signals, as they travel across the universe traveling at the speed of light, will long outlast our time on Earth. "Tunguska" is a sonic journey, a chronicle of our desire to reach out to one another, an unwitting cry for help received millions of years too late, an accidental message-in-a-bottle sent by a civilization that didn't know it's dying. - Christopher Stanton.

This performance of "Tunguska" was performed in May 2011 at Theatre Direct's Wychwood Studio, Toronto by the multi-disciplinary ensemble of Christopher Stanton, Darsha Hewitt, Erin Gee and Hank Bull with dramaturgical and staging direction by Mark Cassidy.

A leader in the independent Theatre scene of Toronto, Christopher Stanton has been involved with ARC, The Room, and Unspun Theatre, among his many roles as a director, performer, sound designer, composer and producer. He has worked in Toronto, Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Vancouver, Montreal, and internationally in New York, Bogotà, Munich, Brisbane, Dublin, and Vienna.

Darsha Hewitt uses experimental electronics, radio-craft and aging technology for sound installations and performances. By handcrafting, rebuilding and cross-wiring basic electronics, she strips them of their commercial obligations and exposes them to the noisy and invisible ethereal realm. In addition to her art practice, Darsha teaches people how to build electronics.

Hank Bull is a multi-faceted artist recognized as an innovator in radio, telecommunications, performance and social practices. As curator, administrator and advocate, he has participated in the development of the Western Front and Centre A, the Vancouver International Centre for Contemporary Asian Art.

Erin Gee (Montreal) is an artist and composer inspired by the human voice as a conceptual object, linking the vibration of vocal folds to electricity and data across systems. She translates the materiality of the voice into zones of affect and biofeedback, and is best known for her work in choral composition, networked performance, ASMR, virtual reality, AI and robotics.

This performance of Mask/Mirror by Alessandro Bosetti was recorded at the 2009 Deep Wireless Radio and Transmission Art festival at the Wychwood Theatre in Toronto.

A few months before the performance Bosetti wrote a note to himself: "Try to create a mask that that doesn't have anything to do with anything. He kept wondering what that could mean until he started to imagine Mask/Mirror.

Mask/Mirror is a sampler that processes recordings of spoken language in real time. It uses samples of Bosetti's voice creating the ambiguous situation of being interrupted by himself all the time and of having to resort to all possible resources to keep making sense. The sampler follows both sound and meaning criteria in sorting, organizing and processing samples and formulating utterances. It randomly manages sample banks of words making it possible to determine the syntactic form of a phrase (for example noun - verb - noun) but not the actual words the phrase it's made of. Mask/Mirror is a software tool based on Max/Msp that interacts with Bosetti's spoken voice during performances. It also explores the sounding character of the voice/speech material through sound processing and pitch tracking.

Alessandro Bosetti is a composer and sound artist. He works on the musicality of spoken words and unusual aspects of spoken communication and produced text-sound compositions featured in live performances, radio broadcastings and published recordings. In his work he moves on the line between sound anthropology and composition often including translation and misunderstanding in the creative process. Field research and interviews often build the basis for his abstract compositions along with electroacoustic and acoustic collages, relational strategies,trained and untrained instrumental practices, vocal explorations and digital manipulations. Since he's curious about differences he travels. Just in 2006 he's been living and working in West Africa, China, Taiwan, Holland, Scandinavia, United States , Germany and Italy.

Whisper Bed is based on audio from a multi media installation featuring field recordings from Still Creek and poetic reflections. The piece attempts to balance the so-called natural world with the human presence. The creek, the big box stores that surround it and linguistic reflections are fluidly interwoven to negotiate authorship of the space.

"The Garden of Sonic Delights" invites the listener to enter an imaginary soundscape (one that R. Murray Schafer might describe as a “soniferous garden”) richly filled with sounds that may remind us of the actual sounds of water, wind, insects, animals and birds. Our visit will take us through the afternoon until the next morning, hopefully leaving us delighted and refreshed.

Barry Truax is a Professor Emeritus in the School of Communication and formerly the School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University where he taught courses in acoustic communication and electroacoustic music.Truax’s multi-channel soundscape compositions are frequently featured in concerts and festivals around the world. His music is published on Cambridge Street Records (https://www.sfu.ca/~truax/cdlist.html) and 50 complete stereo versions of his pieces are available on Sonus (https://sonus.ca/artiste/CP-1811/Barry_D_Truax?tri=titre) in recognition of his fifty years composing electroacoustic music.

“A Landscape of Events” is a piece heavily influenced by Paul Virilio’s homonymous book. The piece is a sonic reflection on how the perception of time is distorted by the pacing of life portrayed in contemporary media, always in constant acceleration. The piece, like the book, presents an amalgam of seemingly disjointed content, or “sets of contradictions in an accelerated and miniaturized world” (Moran, 2004). “A Landscape of Events” was composed at the Virginia Center for Computer Music using ambisonics and Ville Pulkki’s Vector Based Amplitude Panning for the multichannel spatialization.

Juan Carlos Vasquez is an award-winning composer, sound artist, and researcher from Colombia.

In January 2019, students from Jean-Baptiste-Meilleur Elementary School in Montréal took part in a little brainstorm: to imagine fantastic machines under the theme "Quatre machines pour sauver le monde" (Four machines to save the world). No limit, no other instruction, all ideas were welcomed. Based on their suggestions, I composed this piece, expressing with sound and music the devices thought out by the students but also their surrounding environment. The work is divided into four parts which respect the original titles given by the schoolchildren:

1- Une machine volante qui fonctionne à la pollution et qui la transforme en air pur (A flying machine that functions with pollution and turns it into fresh air)

2- Une machine-robot en forme d'animal pour sauver les animaux qui n'ont pas de maison et qui sont dans la rue (An animal-shaped robot-machine to save homeless animals that live on the street)

3- Une machine pour envoyer toute la neige qui tombe ici au pôle Nord pour ne plus que ça fonde (A machine to send all the snow falling here to the North Pole so it doesn't melt anymore)

4- Une machine-bateau-sous-marin pour nettoyer les océans (A machine-boat-submarine to clean the oceans)

Léa Boudreau is a composer, musician and sound artist based in Montréal. Now a final-year digital arts student, she nourishes a passionate relationship with sound since her teenage years. It was a time when she used to spend days as a hermit, listening and creating. Oh how few things have changed.

This recording is from a performance that was recorded in August 2018 at the NAISA North Media Arts Centre in South River, Ontario, Canada.

In this performance blablaTrains create listening paths that range from animality to a robotic society, and from heaven to hell. They strive for a dialog between nature, industrial and electronic sounds. Their performance technique is a theatrical exploration of two instruments that require a ‘choreography’ to generate sound.

To view a video of their performance visit NAISAtube on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_VoGwjl2YA

blablaTrains is a duo formed by Takuto Fukuda playing a DIY sensor instrument, and Ana Dall’Ara-Majek playing an extended Theremin. Respectively from Japan and France, they moved to Canada to study composition and to take the train. The duo develops new ways of combining narrative, theatricality and musical meaning using gestures idiomatic to their digital instruments. Both are composers and Max programmers, and in their respective careers create pieces with instruments and electronics for installations, performances, fixed media and multimedia projects.

“Et erit Lux Lunae sicut lux solis” is an electronic music work which combines concrete sounds that refers to aquatic world. A microcosm of sounds becomes the hyletic universe explored through various techniques in this piece. Heterogeneous sound materials are used: sound of bottles; water dispenser noises; water droplets; electronic wind sounds; chimes; gong; Granular accumulations. Just to name a few. The sounds are here combined in well-identifiable electronic gestures. Original sound materials are manipulated and transformed through different techniques and returned to the listener, trying to outline an ideal journey between earth and sky.

Massimo Vito Avantaggiato's work revolves around research processes and combination of experimental video and experimental electronic music. He has studied electroacoustic composition, instrumental composition and sound engineering. He is interested in programming languages applied to audio and video and has written music for films, short films, video installations and ballets.
