Artist Biographies

"Chiyoko Szlavnics was born and raised in Toronto, Canada, and has livedin Berlin, Germany, since 1998.

She studied music at the University of Toronto, and privately withthe composer James Tenney.

She composes for a wide variety of instruments and ensembles, oftencombining them with sinewaves. A central aspect of her work is the audiblephenomenon called "beating", which is highlighted through her particular use ofextended sustains, glissandi, tuning systems, and her way of combiningacoustic instruments with electronics.

Drawings became the starting point for her compositional process aroundthe year 2003. But in 2009 & 2010, several drawings series suddenly emerged,which distinctly belonged to the field of visual art. Szlavnics now practicesin both disciplines, and not only are her drawings heard in concert, buther music is sometimes also seen in exhibitions in Europe andNorth America."

"Isaiah Ceccarelli. Born Chetwynd, British Columbia, Canada, 1978. Residence: Montréal, Québec. Composer, Performer (drum set, percussion).

Isaiah Ceccarelli is a drummer, improviser, and composer based in Montréal. His music has been qualified as "one of the most original approaches to come through our offices in recent times" (Marc Chénard, La Scena Musicale) and he has been described as possessing "a writing style with rare personality in this musical context" (Thierry Lepin, Jazzman Magazine). He participates in numerous creative music projects with Michel F Côté, Pierre-Yves Martel, Lori Freedman, Jean Derome, Bernard Falaise, Joshua Zubot and Philippe Lauzier, amongst others. He plays with Félix Stüssi and Ray Anderson, as well as with the Acadian singer Marie-Jo Thério. Proud ambassador of a new generation of creative musicians in Québec, his collaborations have led him on tour in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. Isaiah has composed music for two of his own albums, Bréviaire d'épuisements and Lieux-dits (both on the Ambiances Magnétiques label), and for ensembles and musicians such as Quatuor Bozzini, Ensemble Allogène, the violist Jennifer Thiessen, and Ensemble Kô. He sings with the Schola Saint-Grégoire (Gregorian chant).

A seasoned musician and composer, Isaiah Ceccarelli is, in the words of Charles Collard from La Scena Musicale, "a jewel in the crown of the Montréal scene and his presence is felt on several fronts at the same time."
