Grdina/Lillinger plus Horn & String Group: Grdina/Lillinger, Horn & String Group

Event Description

Grdina/Lillinger
The phenomenal, genre-mashing juggernaut duo Grdina/Lillinger mixes electronica, drum and bass, metal, punk, and free jazz into their explosively self-expressive sound. A force of nature on guitar and oud, Gordon Grdina and virtuosic powerhouse drummer Christian Lillinger intersperse intense, complex, spacious, heavily grooving free improv with modular composition ideas. Equal parts rock, punk, and exploratory atonality, these next-level innovators take unexpected turns at every corner, while taking their wildfire chemistry to the next level in this duo setting.

Horn & String Group
Horn & String Group is the improvised collaboration of Nanaimo musicians Liam Murphy (Earthball) on saxophones and clarinets, Blaise Forsythe on violin and samples and Ethan Olynick on drums and percussion. They will be joined by Victoria-based saxophonist/clarinettist Shane Krause.
