About

Magnetic Domain (www.magneticdomaintapes.ca) presents an evening of immersive audio and visuals. 

Featuring:
Greenhouse (Winnipeg)
Greenhouse is Canadian musician/guitarist Curran Faris.

Jon Vaughn & Colby Richardson (Saskatoon/Winnipeg)
Performing "Mellotrauma" 
Mellotrauma is a composition for live performance utilizing audio and video feedback and electronic manipulations that is intended to both overwhelm and subdue the senses. Jon Vaughn incorporates both analogue and digital sound sources to evoke and transform the idea of experimental noise music manifesting in richly textural worlds embedded with fragmented melodies, cavernous bass lines and spasmodic no-input mixing and tape-manipulated instrumentation.

The accompanying visuals in Mellotrauma are created and altered in real time by Colby Richardson through the use of analogue video synthesis, video feedback, and no-input video mixing. By combining and sculpting these layers, Richardson creates a visual response to the tone and intensity of Vaughn’s consuming soundscape, collectively propelling the audience through swelling waves and dense detritus, blurring the boundaries between the two mediums.

Chad Munson (Saskatoon)
Chad Munson is a multi-instrumentalist and producer from the Canadian prairies. At the age of 7 he received a malfunctioning analog synthesizer. Listening to the broken synthesizer drift, drone and distort sparked a fascination with texture that has defined his musical output since.
Munson has been producing textural music since 1998 and released his first full length under his foal moniker in 2004 on Andrew Duke’s Cognition Audioworks imprint. The sounds he creates are centered around digital signal processing modular synthesizers, lap steel guitar and field recording. His compositions are an exercise in deep listening which explore the boundaries of organic and synthetic sound, through chance processing and exact programming.
