Sarah Peebles - composer/performer. Hive Study is a quasi-improvisational, quasi-chance performance piece/installation transforming the Mercer Union gallery space into a sonic honey bee hive featuring sounds of masses of bees recorded inside glass jugs and hives, cicada, and airplanes. Using material initially recorded over several days near Wellington, New Zealand at Lindsay's Apieries, Peebles mixes, layers, manipulates and projects these sounds alongside the shoh — the Japanese mouth-organ used in gagaku (court music) which has made use of beeswax for the past 1,500 years. You are invited to roam about the space, nap or sit where you like - BYO cushions, sleeping bags, blankets, pillows, etc. This project is part of the Canada Council's Music in Alternative Spaces program.  E: info@mercerunion.org   T: 416-536-1519 Demo audio at www.sarahpeebles.net/resonating.html   Friday February 15, 2008, 9pm Leftover Daylight Series, in association with Arraymusic and AIMToronto ARRAYMUSIC Studio 60 Atlantic Avenue, Suite 218 $10/6 9 p.m. smash & teeny [sarah peebles (sho) nilan perera (guitar)] february's guest curator is arnd jurgensen http://www.ovalwindowmusic.org/leftoverdaylight/february15.php   Friday January 11, 2008, 9pm - 1am Creative Improviser's Assembly The Tranzac Club Brunswick Ave., Toronto Sarah Peebles' Selfish Gene (ensemble) CCMC (trio) Joe Sorbara's Other Foot First (ensemble) I Have Eaten the City (trio) Sarah Peebles' Selfish Gene jon bakan (alto saxophone) nick buligan (trumpet) arnd jurgensen (guitar) tilman lewis (cello) michael-owen liston (bass) aaron lumley(bass) paul newman (soprano saxophone) nicole rampersaud (trumpet) joe sorbara (conductor) All details here: http://www.aimtoronto.org/events/cia-2008.php   »»» BACK TO TOP CONTACT Sarah Peebles | S t u d i o E x c e l o "time-based art with a creamy filling" Contact the Artist at speeb@sympatico.ca Homepage | Artist Biography | Recordings / Publications Max, Sample Cell, ABControl images | Cinnamon Sphere | Smash and Teeny | The Audible Woman Protest CD | Reviews | Notable Projects | Contact the Artist at speeb@sympatico.ca | Resources | What's New?  | Site updated by Four Corners Communications
