Tue, Jun 11th, 7:30pm (doors 7), Ten Moon & robertalanfuturehearts – poems & improvisation

Robert Alan Mackie - Double bass and poems, Elise Boeur – Violin, Isa Holmgren – Voice, Sam Gleason - Electric Guitar

New poems and music riding the spectrums of jazz, pop and traditional dance music from West Toronto and East Gothenburg:

robertalanfuturehearts talks and plays the double bass in intense unison. A tightly braided chorus of electric guitar, violin, and voices accompany with meticulous compositions hung on a scaffold of thoughtful improvisation. The stories dissect specimens of the cosmically whimsical and the deeply unsettling while the music makes earworms of the abstract spaces no words can inhabit.

robertalanfuturehearts is a metaphor snapped to the grid of music and language that describes all of the most human things we forget to talk about, and a dedication to cultivating hope from whence we excavate melancholy.

First act presented by Ten Moon:

Ten Moon offers an escape into lucid dream soundscapes. Resonant alto vocals and gut punches of bass intertwine with shimmers of electric guitar and violin to cocoon lyrics about one way tickets to space, ice storms, and whale bones. Ten Moon’s first solo album, Exit West, is slated for a fall 2019 release and features many of the musicians you will hear at this beautiful event.
