Architek Percussion / SaskPWR
Architek Percussion and SaskPWR (Nicole Lizée, Steve Raegele, and Ben Reimer) join forces to present Lizée’s work The Criterion Collection (2017). The Criterion Collection is a series of glitch-based pieces that delve into the worlds of iconic films and filmmakers that have made a marked impact on Lizée’s aesthetic. Each work is constructed around damaged and deconstructed audio and video such as chewed and warped videocassettes, and the resulting errors and imperfections are woven together to create a sonic landscape over which accompanying instrumental material—itself emulating the traits of broken or malfunctioning media—is performed live. Also on the program is the world premiere of Olivier Alary’s Stutter (2018), a piece for mallet instruments that draws inspiration from different time scales, juxtaposing very slow musical development with continuous, fast attack speed.
