"ON THE COVER: JESSICA MOSS
Montreal violinist and composer Jessica Moss talks to writer Mary Dickie about how pandemic isolation gave her what she needed to create two brilliant albums of violin music influenced by ancient klezmer and modern drone, and how she bridges those genres in her work. Moss reveals how a learning disability led to her unique creative process and she shares her excitement about two new collaborative projects happening in Fall 2022: a challenging initiative that will see her compositions transcribed for the first time, and the resurrection of Black Ox Orkestar, her beloved avant-klezmer band, that promises a new album and live shows.

RESEQUENCING RESONANCES
Musical repatriation remains elusive in the process of Canada's reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. Although repatriation is most often associated with artifacts in museums, two Toronto music venues are setting precedents in what repatriation could look like in music contexts. Toronto's Tranzac Club discovered hidden Australian Aboriginal items in their storage rooms, and the club's board invited lore man Goombine to facilitate their return to Australia and organize a ceremony marking their journey home. Under an independent Indigenous Advisory Council, the Canadian Music Centre aims to rectify Indigenous misrepresentation and appropriation in its vast catalogue of Canadian musical works. With the perspectives of Goombine, opera singer Marion Newman, and scholar Jeremy Strachan, Juro Kim Feliz recounts the Tranzac ceremonies and the conversations on creative responsibility undertaken amidst the CMC initiative.

CHLOE ALEXANDRA THOMPSON

Beginning with her first childhood experiences with loudspeakers and culminating in her recent works using dense arrays of subwoofers to create visceral sound vibrations, the conversation serves as a window into Thompson's definition of what electronic sound is, and what it means to transmit it.
