Together Apart is an evening curated by composer Shawn Pinchbeck (CAN/EST) of sound and electroacoustic music artists from Canada, Estonia and Lithuania presented by the Boreal Electroacoustic Music Society (BEAMS).
The roster of special artists includes: Myriam Boucher, Wayne DeFehr, Trevor DePagie/Hitoshi Sugiyama, gintas k (LT), Jamie McDonald/Ana Villanueva, M.O.A.I.N., Phiqual Poynte, Skrunt Skrunt, and Villem Jahu (EST).

(Chris Samson) and Skrunt Skrunt (Abram Hindle); and a fistful of tasty videomusic shorts offered like fancy hors d’oeuvres to refresh your palettes.
Each performance has been specially selected for this event to tickle your ears, lubricate your listening organs and open your third eye. Please join us!
