Treading a slightly different musical path than the first mash-up
Dn'B (and very sold out) LABproject show back in January, the upcoming
spectacle reunites members of Sevens Project, a small chamber ensemble put
together for a multi-media film event at the FCMM/SAT last October.
With a cinematic sense of musicality and an acceptance of multiple styles
from electronic glitch pop to sweeping soundscape rock to jazz
influenced classical, the group is based around the interaction of a core unit
of guitar, keys, cello, bass and drums. LABproject organizer and local
producer/guitarist Matt Lederman provides the framework of interaction
while the rhythmic drive is maintained by LABproject/Moondata regulars
Peter X and Stef Schneider. Adding details to the mix is the cello of
Catherine Le Saunier, a classically trained cellist currently playing
in a variety of groups, most notably with singer/songwriter Jason
Bajada. Sweeping in with jazzy rhodes, haunting melodies and gracefully
layered vocals is Patrick Watson. A multi-talented musical artist, Patrick
incorporates everything from classical to modern electronica, and is a
regular composer for films and artistic events. He recently released a
solo record "Just Another Ordinary Day" to wide popular and critical
praise.

In keeping with the mode of the LABproject series of collaborative
composition, the night will be fleshed out with extra rhythmic support by
Kevin Laing. A multi-instrumentalist, Kevin's open drumming styles
currently back the electro-orchestral pop of Marlowe and the post-rock
explorations of Kincardine. He was also the drummer and founder of now
defunct local experimentalists ja ne fon dorb. Moondata regular Ryhna
Thompson will be providing her unique melodic ideas in the form of
effected trumpet and spacey keys. Finally, incorporating the required
glitches will be laptop performer Zen Nakamura who will be loading samples,
tweaking live effects to the performed sounds and improvising with loops
and other found sounds.

The DJ sets will be performed by another laptop musician, naw. His
diverse style touches on many forms of electronic and experimental
music. naw has been performing on the national and international scene for
many years and has released albums on Noise Factory Records.

Visuals and projections will once again be provided by Jason Rodi of
Moment Factory. Jason is a local filmmaker and his visuals have graced
numerous events, from Cirque Du Soleil to Formula 1, and has produced
videos for Bravo, SAT, Muchmusic and more. His documentary, The Eye of
the Son, was recently broadcast on several channels across Canada.
