Kristen Roos is an artist whose approach to creating sound art usually involves a translation, or change, from one state to another. Objects normally used to bring information in a particular way are repurposed, and reconstructed into new vibrating forms. These temporary structures hope to inspire infinite interpretations for the objects and spaces that make up the world around us. Ferry Crossing Interpreted & Vinegar Factory One by Kristen Roos and Anna Friz. This performance will consist of two fifteen-minute pieces. The first is based on a score that Kristen created from a collage of field recordings gathered on Vancouver Island, Cortes Island and the ferry between Cortes Island and Quadra Island. Together they will recreate this Ferry Crossing using a theremin, radios, and various amplified objects. The second piece originates from a performance at the Vinegar Factory in Vancouver, for bowed fire bells, amplified wire brush, tape recorder, theremin, harmonica, kazoo, and radios. . Nilan Perera is a sonic explorer and improviser whose work expands the language and techniques of experimental electric guitar performance. In his unusual approach to the guitar, Perera utilizes preparations of assorted paraphernalia such as swizzle sticks, paper clips, metal brushes and the like, as well as feedback and a variety of electronic effects. . Between Sets CD - "erebus & terror" by David Bickley & Tom Green NAISA founder Darren Copeland created a soundtrack for the radio drama "Erebus & Terror" by Gwendolyn MacEwen. This is an alternate, more ambient impression of the ill-fated Franklin naval expedition of 1845 as a "dark, brooding atmospheric album painting".
