Played a super fun show with TorQ and the Penderecki String Quartet last night . "Hard Wired" featured music by Mason Bates, Daniel Morphy, the Canadian premiere of Augusta Read Thomas's "Selene" and the world premiere of Nicole Lizée's "Games People Play", a TorQ/PSQ commission. Instruments used include two Pocket Operator synths, compressed air can, two boom boxes, Popmatic Trouble, and two Simons, in addition to a whole whack of percussion (and the strings of course). Special thanks to PSQ for being excellent collaborators, to THEMUSEUM for providing such a cool venue, and to Open Ears for programming us as part of the festival. Also thanks as always to all the companies (Yamaha, Innovative, Dream, Black Swamp, Remo) that make great gear that TorQ is proud to use and that help support what we do. And an extra shoutout to Upcycled Percussion who make really cool shakers! • • • #myofficetonight #actuallylastnight #chambermusic #torqpercussion #pendereckistringquartet #kitchenerwaterloomusic #20yearsofopenears #percussionnerd #percussionsetups #gamespeopleplay @torqpercussion @penderecki.quartet.fans @openearsfest @themuseumkitchener @yamahacanmusic @yamahadrumsofficial @innovativepercussion @dreamcymbals @upcycledpercussion @blackswamppercussion @remopercussion @nicolelizee @augustareadthomas (at THEMUSEUM)
