. 9:15 . Transmorphous Sound Ensemble . Formed in February 2009
by Chris Meloche and Richard Moule as a forum for sonic creation in
which the two participants create an atmosphere in which sounds
can organically grow and morph into ever-changing soundscapes.
To achieve this goal, the duo utilize traditional musical instruments
in a non-traditional manner.

Meloche plays a table-top guitar which is processed through several
digital processing devices while Moule uses as similar approach on
the violin. Both performers also make use of prepared recordings
(environmental, media etc...) which are also manipulated beyond
recognition. It is this gradual and deliberate melding of complimentary
and contrasting elements which succeeds in the creation of an organic,
immersive soundscape environment.

The works created by the Transmorphous SE are completely
spontaneous and "in the moment" but with a definite feeling that
the sounds have been arranged in a very deliberate manner. The
duo communicate within the confines of a sonic palette which
slowly and progressively twists and turns in a pattern which
resembles a living organism. The listener is enveloped by the
sound and drawn into an alien soundscape which is somehow
rooted in a cloak of familiarity. Sounds slowly appear and
disappear while the passage of time suddenly becomes
an irrelevant concept. http://www.chrismeloche.com/contents.htm

. 10:15 . Geek Weekend . The geeks are back for another
summer sizzler. Robert Hoare (Berlin) and Steven Sauvé
(Hamilton) look forward to bringing you all manner of sultry
sounds, drenched in absurdity, and dripping with irony.
No computers have been harmed in the making of this music.
ADVISORY: Random processes are used throughout
the performance. http://www.geekweekend.ca

. GENERAL CHAOS VISUALS . After the 60x60 A/V
presentation, the unique evolving light paintings of
General Chaos Visuals will provide us with mesmerizing
eye candy projected onto a live canvas of performers.
