SUMMARY:SHADOWPLAY: A Night of Dark Music on Wax
DESCRIPTION:SHADOWPLAY \n\nJoin duo CLOAK & DAGGER and their comrade JAKOB on Saturday March 23rd in the basement of Kootenay Coop Radio for a night of dark music on wax. The event takes its name from the iconic track off of Joy Division’s debut album Unknown Pleasures. The band’s intervention in 1979 was a game changer that inspired many genres of unique musical exploration\, such as darkwave\, EBM\, industrial\, new wave\, post-punk\, and gothic rock. The night will feature many vintage and contemporary releases on vinyl from a variety of these mesmerizing and mysterious musical genres. \n\n“To the centre of the city in the night\, waiting for you!”\n-Ian Curtis \n\nWHERE: Basement of @kootenaycoopradio – 308 A Hall St. Sinixt təmxʷúlaʔxʷ (Nelson\, BC)\nWHEN: Saturday\, March 23rd\, 2024\nTIME: 9-late\nPRICE: Tickets at the door $10-20 sliding scale\n\nIG: https://www.instagram.com/p/C38a52hvGmd/\nFB: https://fb.me/e/1KXpHilXG \nBio: \n\nCLOAK & DAGGER: Eclectic Vinyl selectors and collectors Cloak & Dagger have been known to play music spanning many different genres and decades\, often within the same set. Although their roots are founded in the dub realm you can expect everything from jazz\, hip-hop\, ambient-experimental leaning electronic & some classics from the 70’s & 80’s. The duo hosts the radio show ‘Something That’s Not Nothing’ every Wednesday night 10pm-12am pst on Kootenay Co-op radio.\n\n@ol.molasses\nhttps://soundcloud.com/olmolasses\n\n@more.like.space\nhttps://soundcloud.com/more-like-space\n\nJAKOB: The intertwined circle and triangle is an ancient alchemical symbol representing a precise transmutation. The extension of the triangle’s points beyond the parameters of the circle indicates that the reaction will take place free from coercion or control\, where the radius of the transformation is wholly dependent upon the strength of the reaction. Extending this incantation to the transformative potential of music\, it is also clear that carefully curated audio atmospheres have the capacity to provoke captivating responses among audiences. \n\n@jakobsounds\nhttps://soundcloud.com/jakob-sounds\n-No forms of bigotry or harassment will be tolerated.\n-Consent is mandatory.\n-Celebrate responsibly.\n-Please contact us if you have any accessibility requirements and would like to attend\n– Capacity is very limited so be sure to arrive early.

SUMMARY:LIVE ELECTRONIC MUSIC SHOWCASE
DESCRIPTION:A Family Friendly Afternoon Concert + Dance Party \nYou might be asking… what is “Live Electronic Music”? Well\, simply put\, it is electronic music that is performed live. In other words\, the performers are not DJing; rather\, they utilize a variety of electronic instruments (e.g. synthesizers\, sequencers\, computers\, electronic violins\, vocal processors\, theremins\, loopers\, etc.) and weave sonic-worlds in real-time\, one layer at a time. \nThis showcase will take you on an epic journey into the world of live electronic music. It’ll start right at 3:20pm with a 10 minute talk giving an overview of live electronic music. Following this\, each of the 4 acts (who produce music in completely different genres of music) will do two things. They will: 1) give a 10 minute talk discussing their creative and technical processes\, so that attendees have a much deeper insight into how they think about\, feel into\, and perform their music\, and 2) follow that talk with a 40 minute performance. \nThe artists are: \ntpwtr (glitchy lo-fi funk)\nthisissami (improvised beats & freestyle rap)\nNella Banner (ethereal downtempo & ambient)\nJaq Taforo + Aurelien Sudan (improvised electronic-jazz fusion) \nFood will be available courtesy of Nelson-based Mexican chef Erika Cuevas. She will be serving burritos and soup\, with vegetarian and gluten free options available. \nSound will be provided by Live Harmonics from the Slocan Valley\, who will be setting up a PK sound system. \nDoors open at 3:00pm. Show starts at 3:20pm.

SUMMARY:‘PULP’ exhibition opening
DESCRIPTION:PULP is the latest iteration in a series of medium-centric group exhibitions\, focused on a common theme – in this case\, paper – that highlights each artist’s interpretation of the medium. PULP opens Friday\, April 5 at the Nelson Museum\, Archives & Gallery\, and runs through July 27.\n\nIn the hands of artists from across Canada\, the artworks that embody PULP speak to personal\, regional\, socio-political\, and historic symbology; seen in the feminist forms of Gathie Falk and Badanna Zack\, with an Indigenous perspective through the work of Edward Poitras\, through the revolt and response of Mia Feuer\, the masks of Miya Turnbull\, and the poetic/historical approach of Susan Andrews Grace.

SUMMARY:Mini Sculptural Vases with Becky
DESCRIPTION:Our instructor Becky is a student at Glasgow school of the arts in Scotland. She has years of experience moulding\, casting and working with clay. She is excited to share her knowledge with you! \nIn this fun introductory session into hand building clay\, guided by Becky\, you’ll get to create your very own mini sculptural vase. \nVases will be fired with white or clear glaze\, and participants will be notified via email once their pieces are ready. Wait period is usually 8 weeks. \nCost is $55 and includes materials. \nWhat is handbuilding? \nHandbuilding is a ceramics technique that allows you to create forms with clay and your hands\, without using a throwing wheel. Before ceramicists invented the wheel\, handbuilding was the only way they could create functional and artistic ceramic forms. There are 3 main handbuilding pottery techniques of pinching\, coiling\, and slab rolling. All you need to get started are your clay\, your hands\, and a few simple tools. \nWhile handbuilding is as simple as using your hands to form an object out of clay\, it encompasses three main techniques and forming methods. Once you have mastered pinching\, coiling\, and slab building\, you can make just about anything out of clay. \nPre registration is required.
