cozy skronk
Markus Floats with members of the Egyptian Cotton Arkestra
We take over Friends House for a comfy-cozy night of noise—with Markus Floats and members of Montreal free-jazz ensemble Egyptian Cotton Arkestra, and a collective of Toronto improvisers playing with household instruments and implements.
Montréal/Tiotia’ke-based composer and musician Markus Floats takes over Friends House for a night of “cozy skronk”.
Playing alongside members of the free-jazz ensemble Egyptian Cotton Arkestra, Markus Floats weaves his electronic improvisations with the ambient guitar musings of Lucas Huang and the fierce yet soothing tones of saxophonist James Goddard.
Opening the evening are Toronto improvisers HOMEBODIES, an ad-hoc ensemble of local artists—Allison Cameron, Aliyah Aziz, Deniz Tafaghodi, Wesley Shen, and Lucas Dvorsky—bringing together forms of ‘at-home’ listening—including activating a collection of household electric organs—to create a collective, intuitive performance.

TICKETING & ACCESSIBILITY INFO
REFUND, NO-SHOW, & RUSH LIST POLICY
Sometimes our shows sell out, and that can be a bummer for folks who didn’t get a ticket. We’ve developed a new ticketing policy that applies to advance ticket holders and those wanting tickets to ensure a fair, transparent process for releasing additional tickets to a sold-out show. Please read our full policy here.
TICKETING
Our new ticket type invites you to Pay What You Can Afford (PWYCA) which means that you can choose an appropriate level and where possible, help to offset community members attending at a discounted rate. Levels are decided by you based upon your income and financial flexibility and are not verified at the door.
ACCESSIBILITY INFO
Venue Accessibility: the entrance for the performance space is along an accessible path that runs from the sidewalk on Lowther and wraps around the south and west side of the building to an entrance at the rear of the property. There is a door with an automatic door opener that leads to a hallway; the hallway connects to the performance space, and an accessible washroom.
Seating: this event will have general seating (chairs), with some flexibility for standing, and floor seating as desired by audience members.
Masking and social distancing is strongly recommended for attendees who are able to and audience members are encouraged to arrive scent-free to the performance.
For additional questions or accessibility needs, please contact: matthew@musicgallery.org.
