Performance in X Avant XIX: Texture Series

In a new partnership with UKAI Projects, MG takes over The Bridge with a night of electronic-centered free jazz. 

For night four of X Avant XIX: TeXture we dive into the dark and mysterious corners of electronic sounds. Chicago’s Hieroglyphic Being takes on his flavor of electronic free-jazz in a homage to Jon Hassell and Silver Apples with a live set blurring lines and senses. There will also be the Toronto premiere of his new experimental film. 

Opening the night is Juanito, a Toronto local known for experimental glitch beats, leftfield and ambient downtempo, and deconstructed reggaeton and cumbia. His sound explores tensions, ambiguities, and deconstructions questioning norms and identity.

Closing out the night is a session from two of Toronto’s baddest DJs, Kaspr and 999adj. Given the task of ‘playing whatever they want’ and ‘getting OUT,’ boundaries of sounds and noises will be pushed, played with, and tested.

RUSH LINE & NO-SHOW 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 apply 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

The Bridge is not wheelchair accessible due to stairs (one flight and an elevator to enter the performance space). 

We will have ear plugs and sunglasses for those that need it. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to matthew@musicgallery.org.

COVID POLICY

We strongly encourage masking at all times. For our full policy, click here

SAFER SPACE

We expect all attendees and community members to respect one another, and to respect the work that was created for you to explore. We will not tolerate harm or harmful behaviour of any kind. View our policy here.
