GRIMES:

Grimes
is Claire Boucher. Lack of musical training yields unpretentious but
compelling composition in which electronic and organic sounds come
together in a colourful goth-pop-noise medley. Drawing from classical
medieval chorale and synth-pop, among other things, Grimes fuses
contemporary instrumentation with classical vocal practices from around
the world.
POP WINDS:

Hailing
from Ontario but residing in Montreal, Pop Winds formed in the spring
of 2009. They have released one EP on Arbutus Records. Since then the
trio has been spreading the gospel of their ambient psychedelic pop from
loft space to bar stage armed with a guitar, a keyboard and a
saxophone. Their first full-length, The Turquoise, was released in April
2010.
DOLDRUMS:

"percussion-heavy, synth- and vocal-driven experimental psychedelic soup project" - Scott Gray, Exclaim Magazine
Doldrums
is the project of Airick Woodhead (of Sprial Beach) joined by lots of
percussion. Their first release was a VHS mixtape which you have to see
to believe. Check it out on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/wat
CS GALLERIES:
CS
Galleries is a collective of students and recent graduates from the
University of Guelph's fine art program who like to create conceptual
public art projects, multiples, publications, and have a lot of fun. CS
Galleries has decided to create a temporary sculpture park in a forest a
few kilometers near the university campus. For a brief time, Guelph
will have two official sculpture gardens, the other belonging to the
Macdonald Stewart Art Centre. Ed Video will act as downtown headquarters
for the new park, as a site to display documentation, marketing
materials, live video feeds and speak to representatives.
