FEATURE ARTICLES

Richard Marsella
Whether organizing a noise parade for children or his more adult-oriented Friendly Rich Show, music educator and weirdo composer Richard Marsella brings a sense of anarchy and carnivalesque play to all of his projects. He has a new album and tour planned, which is sure to provoke audiences. Even though Marsella's projects are infused with childlike zaniness, he is serious-serious about the music and serious about the humour.

Richard Windeyer
This article is a profile of sound artist Richard Windeyer, and examines the way he approaches sound in relation to his work as a member of Bluemouth Inc., a Toronto-based interdisciplinary theatre collective. Influenced by musique concrète and soundscape composition, Windeyer discusses his approach to sound as gesture and the process of compositional counterpoint in relation to Bluemouth's commitments to site-specific performance and audience interaction.

Psychotropic Sonics
New Age music, long the whipping boy of critics and contemporary music listeners, has finally shed its jazz-lite stylings, returning once again to the real almighty: sound itself, where drones and guitar pedals become portals to space, a vinyl record becomes a mandala-a threshold to utopia-and echoes, not gurus, are worshipped. Today's New Age, as heard in Prince Rama of Ayodhya, Expo 70, Elodie Lauten, and others, reconnects mysticism with adventurous sound, inspired by, and for, deep listening

PROFILE
Marilyn Lerner

Committed to both song-oriented and highly abstract music, Toronto-based pianist-composer Marilyn Lerner has been expressing different parts of her musical personality for many years. Whether playing Klezmer music, traditional Jewish music, jazz, or free improv, whether performing solo or in a variety of ensembles, whether creating audio art or-more frequently-working in the highly praised trio Queen Mab, Lerner brings the same commitment and invention to each project. Having defined herself as a creative improviser-while acknowledging that her music is constantly evolving and changing-Lerner has also followed a side path into another interest, and works part of each week as a psychotherapist. Everything she does relates back to her concept of lifelong improvisation.


SOUND NOTES

Guitarist, computer musician, and improviser Eric Wong (D.N.A.N.D.N.A. with Simon Rose) focuses on sound textures and perception of sound, in three works composed using Ableton Live that explore concepts of psychoacoustic sound through dissonance, harmonic interference and hallucinatory sound, slowly developing works of rich sonic characteristic.
