Sounds Like Things – An Experiment in Music | Living Things 2022

Featuring “Flock of Arts Flocka Flocka Arts” and “Branchroot Ensemble”

Branchroot Ensemble is an improvisation-based trio featuring Darren Williams (saxophone), Nicholas Denton Protsack (cello), and Andrew Stauffer (drums). Combining virtuosic skill with musical sensibilities from the worlds of New Music, free jazz, and experimental music, Branchroot Ensemble embraces risk to create spontaneous music that takes listeners to uncharted depths of invention.

The Branchroot Ensemble performs music composed spontaneously. Occasionally pensive, ranging to the frenetic, this trio brings an array of virtuosic techniques that use invention to draw listeners into uncharted depths.

Flock of Arts Flocka Flocka Arts performs “improvised experimental electronic music of an atmospheric nature.” The act consists of thereminist Katie Sardinha and modular synthesist Devon Scott-Leslie from Summerland, BC. The duo aims to create rich, evolving soundscapes, arising and then passing away from the interplay of accident and intention. When they aren’t doing that, you can find them operating an organic apple orchard overlooking
Okanagan Lake.
