Calgary experimental artists to invade Edmonton

EDMONTON — A handful of enterprising, experimental sound artists from Calgary’s Alberta
College of Art & Design venture north to Edmonton for a night of sonic innovation. Invited by
BEAMS president and electroacoustics professor Shawn Pinchbeck, who taught the students at
the college until 2016, the performers bring with them an arsenal of noise, sound and
unconventional music that’s not been heard outside of Calgary.

The concert, Calgary Experimental: Electronic Music & Noise from Calgary
Ortona Armoury Arts Building
9722 – 102 Street NW
Saturday, March 25 at 8 p.m.
Doors at 8 PM
Tickets $10 ($8 BEAMS members)

The show will feature works by Callum Beckford, who incorporates homemade synthesizers
with commercial gear, as well as the duo of Kerry Maguire and Gwen Morgan, who craft their
compositions with the use of field recordings, drum beats and live synthesizers. Also included on
the bill is DTH LVL, a tandem act comprised of Eric Makwich and Matthew Henry, who
perform a dark and grimy blend of electronic and noise sounds.

This production is presented by the Boreal Electroacoustic Music Society, an organization that
promotes and nurtures sound-oriented artworks, creators and performers.
