Toronto (new music) Marathon returns to Yonge-Dundas Square on
Saturday, September 25 from 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM. It’s free, it’s
interactive, and it’s part of the nation-wide movement of Culture Days.
“A marathon of sound in the middle of traffic” - Robert Everett Green,
The Globe and Mail

“Combines the diverse aesthetics of the now legendary Police Picnic...
and Bang On A Can’s casual yet radical presentation of contemporary
music” - David Dacks, Musicworks Magazine

The incredible Christina Petrowska Quilico will perform Ann Southam’s
Pond Life and Glass Houses. Contact’s own Allison Wiebe will perform
Donnacha Dennehy’s amazing Stainless Staining for piano and
soundtrack, Wallace Halladay will perform Grab It by Jacob Ter Veldhuis
and Rob MacDonald will be leading Jordan Nobles’ Temporal Waves.

THE AMBiENT PiNG presents a full on onslaught of experimental
soundscapes and sound sculptures. A consortium of PiNG artists
perform an hour-long ambient blow-out (Soundscapes for Squares
Part 1 - 6) complete with an improvised, analog projected light
painting by General Chaos Visuals.

The marathon gets capped off with Contact performing Philip Glass'
mind-bending Music In Fifths.

Throughout the entire day New Adventures In Sound Art under the
direction of Darren Copeland will re-create The Three Sided Square
featuring real-time sound creations using Yonge-Dundas Square itself
as the sound source, and sound artist Barry Prophet will be showcasing
his interactive Rotary Mbira all day long.

It all kicks off with an interactive performance of Terry Riley’s
classic IN C.
