It’s Saturday! Are you ready for 3-sided Square @ Yonge-Dundas Square?
3-sided Square
Curated by Darren Copeland, New Adventures in Sound Art
Part of Toronto (new music) Marathon
Yonge-Dundas Square, Toronto
Performances Saturday, September 25, 2 - 7 pm
The name 3-sided Square derives from the fact that Yonge-Dundas Square (YDS) has a pie shape layout - a triangle shape rather than a square. These performances are a soundscape portrait of YDS (and its surrounding area) made from 3 perspectives at once - 2 performers and the audience. It is a performance that melds together the worlds of acoustic ecology and soundscape composition with laptop improvisation and electronica and that also incorporates audience participation. The performances function as short intermezzos in between the main stage performances of the Toronto New Music Marathon at Yonge-Dundas Square. The goal of 3-sided Square is to create spontaneous and personalized sound portraits of the Yonge-Dundas area that over the course of an 8 hour period will mirror the natural changes in the Yonge-Dundas soundscape. Performances by Richard Windeyer & Eric Powell (2 - 4 pm), Michelle Irving & Matt Miller (4 - 6 pm), Jessica Thompson & Hector Centeno (6 - 8 pm)
