Tone Deaf 7: A Festival of Adventurous Sound Performance

For its seventh year of programming, Kingston’s unique festival of adventurous sound performance, TONE DEAF, will highlight the importance of smaller labels which promote the work of experimental composer-performers, sound artists and noisicians within Canada. Three independent labels of particular distinction will be featured: Alien8 Recordings, Rat-drifting, and Kingston’s own Apple Crisp Records. They have programmed three nights of performances by artists supported by these labels on October 24th, 25th, and 26th.

Featuring: Tim Hecker, Najda, The Guayaveras and The Gertrudes. An exhibition featuring several artists’ critical interpretation of popular music forms will also run from October 21st to 26th at Modern Fuel Gallery. Modern Fuel Gallery will also host a closing party for the festival, featuring DJ Haircut on the evening of October 26th.
