On Saturday, Nov. 24, we return to local artists’ collective 12CAT for another evening of dance-oriented electronic music with singular Detroit artist, Hieroglyphic Being, Toronto jazz-house innovator, Korea Town Acid CDN, and local FRCLN CDN. Hieroglyphic Being’s music straddles EBM, house, Industrial, and avant-jazz influences. Korea Town Acid’s Jessica Cho uses an experimental and improvisatory approach to samplers and synths, mashing dubby house, free- jazz informed techno, and ambience. Mixing dreamy and ambient elements with southern rap inspired hip hop production, FRCLN’s releases range from dissonant and dreary to heavy and aggressive.
If these concerts aren’t enough, Tone Deaf will also be presenting a bevy of additional special programming for the whole family. On Saturday, Nov. 17, Tone Deaf is collaborating with The Dan School of Music and Drama and the Kingston Frontenac Public Library to present “KuliVersity”, a kulintang percussion workshop with the members of Pantayo.
