Artist Biographies

Track Listing:



1. Duyug (2015)
Maguindanaon folk music, adapted and performed by Pantayo: Joanna Delos Reyes (babandir), Kat Estacio (dabakan, kick drum, synth), Marianne Rellin (sarunay), Christine Balmes (gandingan), Eirene Cloma (synth bass), Michelle Cruz (agong), and Katrina Estacio (kulintang).

This is one of our first songs, and the one we've done the most versions of, here recorded in concert the first time we used electronic instruments. We've modified the song further for an upcoming release.

2. Bahala Na (2015)
Maguindanaon folk music, adapted and performed by Pantayo: Joanna Delos Reyes (babandir), Kat Estacio (dabakan, kick drum, synth), Marianne Rellin (sarunay), Christine Balmes (gandingan), Eirene Cloma (synth bass), Michelle Cruz (agong), and Katrina Estacio (kulintang).

Bahala na is a Tagalog expression for leaving things up to fate, which is generally how we started adapting Maguindanaon kulintang music. It's still pretty central to our process, but is also guided by each member's songwriting experience.

7. Ej, na tej skale vysokej [Seven pairs of eagles] ( 2017)
Traditional, arranged by Dálava.
Performed by Dálava: Julia Ulehla (vocals), Aram Bajakian (acoustic & electric guitars), Peggy
Lee (cello), Tyson Naylor (keyboard instruments), Colin Cowan (double bass & electric bass), and Dylan van der Schyff (percussion). Archival recording of Jiří Úlehla with Antoš Frolka (cimbál).
From the album The Book of Transfigurations (Songlines, SGL 2408-2, 2017).
Recorded at Afterlife Studios in Vancouver by John Raham. Produced by Aram Bajakian and Julia Ulehla.

I know this song from a recording my grandfather Jiří made of it in the 1950s. The words are stunning and startling, portending the ominous fate of battle, or of a journey from which one does not return. The version we recorded was realized just days before we went into the studio, and we decided to keep it shocking and brief, like the version sung by my grandfather. Through our performances, it has grown into another beast entirely, like a horse careening around and galloping in full force.

8. Dyby ňa moja maměnka star [Grass] (2017)
Folk song collected and transcribed by Vladimír Úlehla in his book Živá píseň (Living Song, originally published in 1949), arranged and performed by Dálava.
From the album The Book of Transfigurations (see previous track credits).

Vladimír Úlehla believed you could hear the expansive alluvial fields of the Strážnice landscape in the melody itself. I feel it stretching out to the horizon in its long lingering phrase ends, and quivering, hovering melodic arcs. This song is a beautiful example of a táhla píseň-literally, a drawn-out little song, so characteristic of Moravian folk song.

12. microlattice (2016) 6:57
Composed by Bekah Simms.
Performed by Toy Piano Composers Ensemble: Anthony Thompson (bass clarinet), Adam Scime (double bass), Wesley Shen (piano), Dan Morphy (percussion).
Recorded in concert by John Gray at Heliconian Hall, Toronto, March, 2016.

This piece was performed at the Toy Piano Composers' Curiosity Festival as part of its instrumental concert Metal. There are obvious stylistic references to various heavy-metal genres, most notably doom metal, as well as the use of acoustic distortion and other spectral textural techniques. There is a sneeze in the middle of this performance.

13. Matrix of Glass (2017) 5:29
Composed by Evangelos Lambrinoudis II and Mark Limacher.
Performed by Corinthian (Evangelos Lambrinoudis II) (Drums: Elektron Analog RYTM, Linn Drum, Electribe 2, Roland Tr-909. Synth pads: Access Virus A, Waldorf Q, SCI Prophet 5. Bass: Oxford Synthesiser Company OSCar) and Mark Limacher (Yamaha C7 David Foster Foundation Grand Piano signed by Oprah).

From the album A Concurrent Absence (Deep Sea Mining Syndicate, forthcoming).
Recorded at the National Music Centre in Calgary, Alberta, with engineer assistant Jason Tawkin, April 2017.

Written, recorded and mixed in only ten days, A Concurrent Absence presents the results of my residency at the National Music Centre, using instruments from its world-class collection. The mixing and effects were done live on the Trident A console, giving the record a very loose feeling. Mark Limacher, who studied piano and composition at New School University in NYC, is known for his work with atonal experimentation, found sounds, and repetition.
