Open Ears Festival of Music & Sound
April 27 to May 1, 2011
Kitchener ON
Celebrating the Art of Listening
This is the festival for people who play digital sticks and Halo,
suspended electric guitars, turntables and accordions,
jazz and violins and pianos (and pianos that play themselves).
This is the festival for an orchestra made of laptops and a regular one,
no strings attached.
This is the festival for groups to take very very old music which is Korean
and make it very very new and still Korean and then blow your mind.
This is the festival for legendary drone artists, Inuit throat singers,
warped-out easy-listening deities and sample abusers and gamers who are
secretly into ballet and a Quebecois street band
that think they're from the 1930s.
This is the festival for people who write and spin and hear and knit and draw
and breathe and program and perform and steal sound.
And this is the festival for you.
