Squid in Chains (Vancouver) John Oliver – synth + Douglas Schmidt – soprano sax and bandoneon

Sbot N Wo is a voice/electronics duo from Regina, Canada. Their unique sound is based on the singing and extended vocal techniques of Helen Pridmore, manipulated digitally in real time by WL Altman. Improvised, unadorned, Sbot N Wo’s sound is distinct, daring and divergent.
Squid in Chains is a Vancouver band featuring the many talents of Douglas Schmidt (saxophones and bandoneon), John Oliver (synthesizers), and François Houle (clarinets and electronics). François is on tour and not able to perform this evening.
Jen n Ben is a drum duo. Jen Yakamovich explores relationships between rhythms, social ecologies, and complex embodiment. Ben Brown is searching for instruments to be played full contact and to be heard full bodied.
