Quiet City, Sawdust Collector & Vancouver New Music present: Game of Drones
Date/Time: May 27 2017, 6:00 pm to 11:59 pm
Vancouver, Red Gate Revue Stage
Taking inspiration from game pieces by composers like Wolff, Xenakis, and Zorn, our objective will be to create one continuous piece of music over the duration of the event. A roster of local players (both acoustic and electronic) will be assigned random timeslots of 30 minutes in the schedule, with a new player joining or leaving the stage every 15 minutes.
Confirmed artists include: Alanna Ho, Ben Wylie, Brent Cross, Butter City Poster Boys, Christopher Rooney, Daniel Robertson, Dazzler, Encounterxxist, Eѿe, François Houle, Giorgio Magnanensi, Gran Am, In Mirrors, Joda Clément, John Brennan, John Oliver, Kristen Roos, Kuma, Lisa Butel, Marina Hasselberg, Mathieu Ruhlmann, Memory Place, Merlyn Chipman, Outer Party, Peki Hajdukovic, Prepurity, Prophecy Sun, Rrkktttss, Scant Intone, Ugetsu, V.Vecker, Wynne Palmer
Microphones will be provided for amplifiers or acoustic instruments, whereas musicians with electronics should keep in mind that the ability to plug in and play is crucial and to keep their setup simple. We will be streaming and recording this event for people who are unable to attend or live outside of Vancouver.
There are a few spots available for more participants. As there are a lot of musicians interested to get involved we will be extending the hours to start earlier in the day. Contact: quietcity@panospria.com
