Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

(h)EAR Concert and Workshop Series is super excited to announce an upcoming concert and workshop!

We're hosting Beatings Are In The Body, an exciting new trio with a debut album touring through Ontario / Quebec. They'll be doing a late show after the SPAF festivities on Saturday June 24th at 9:30pm at the Broom Factory. They'll be joined by the Chantal Thompson Trio. Also don't miss their workshop the day before at Next Church, 4pm to 6pm.

Beatings Are In The Body is a powerful and enigmatic new project from three of Canada's leading figures in experimental music—Vancouver-based pianist, composer, and improviser Róisin Adams (of Hildegard's Ghost), Montréal-based experimental vocalist and composer Erika Angell (of Thus Owls), and fellow Vancouverite Peggy Lee—a renowned cellist, composer and improviser. As their name indicates, there's a raw, volatile dimension to the music they create; it's an investigation of how memories, pain, and a spectrum of emotions are stored in and continue to be carried by our physical bodies. Their unflinching self-titled debut full-length resides in the dark fissures between adventurous acoustic songcraft, poetry, and the outright abstraction of free improv.
