Pianist Marilyn Lerner & trumpeter Nicole Rampersaud’s Brass Knuckle Sandwich is both a conversation and an exploration of a percussive, wind-swept soundscape at the intersection of copper and wood. It is the meeting of two of Canada’s finest improvisers. A friendly encounter of creative, daring, patient and generous musicians.
Building on the expansive soundscape of his album Ephemera Montreal-based Pierre-Yves Martel (modular synthesizer, harmonium, field recordings) presents his recent work featuring modular synthesizers alongside the haunting tones of the harmonium, interwoven with archival and field recordings. Drawing from influences spanning early music to minimalist compositions, Martel crafts an immersive auditory journey that invites listeners to explore new realms of sound.
Martel specializes in the creation of sonic worlds both on stage and in the studio, where he handles all aspects of production. Blending the analog with the digital, signal with noise, the traditional with the experimental, Martel aims to make music that transcends genre and style to become utterly singular.
