Discreet Gossamer: Contact

Event Description

On Sunday June 26 at 6:30 p.m. Open Space will host Contact in an exciting double feature. Contact will present A Gossamer Bit created in collaboration with Toronto composer Allison Cameron. Following A Gossamer Bit they will perform their own arrangment Brian Eno’s Discreet Music. Contact’s recording of A Gossamer Bit was named one of the WIRE Magazine’s top 50 releases for 2015. Contact also recorded Discreet Music as a 40th celebration of the anniversary of the release of the original version. Contact’s arrangement of this piece looks back to the adventurous experimentalism of the original work but also pushes boundaries through its use of acoustic and electric instruments. Not only expanding the length of the the original work but places it into the realm of live performance.
