On October 15, Freesound and Arraymusic Co-present an exciting evening of music by Karen Yu and Ken Ueno.

Featuring music by Karen and Ken, performed by the composers, and joined by Jason Doell, this is an exciting opportunity to hear amazing sounds from some of the most exciting composers working today.

With the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, the Toronto Arts Council, the SOCAN Foundation, Arraymusic, the Canadian Music Centre, and Society Clubhouse.

Both Noise Box Cantos and Shadow Mudras were developed collaboratively by Ken Ueno and Karen Yu recently as reaction to their experience being pitted in improvisative situations against a collective of modular synthesizer players. After a critical mass of a few modular synth players is reached, it is hard to discern the individual contributions of each performer. Outnumbered in such a context, Ueno and Yu, felt alienated and determined that such performance contexts were at odds with the core values of their respective performance practices as a vocalist and percussionist.
