Marina Hasselberg

Eclectic and award-winning cellist Marina Hasselberg “has become a standout presence on Vancouver’s music scene” (Georgia Straight). Like her new Jesse Zubot-produced album Red, her solo sets are a provocative, deeply personal mix of classification-resistant written works and adventurous improvised excursions, with Hasselberg employing extended techniques, a variety of bows and accessories, and electronics to skirt the fine line between the known and the unknown.

Matt Choboter

Across five albums and countless collaborations, composer/pianist Matt Choboter has made “post-jazz of a distinctly personalized kind” (Textura). Marking the release of his first solo album Postcards of Nostalgia on ILK Music (Denmark), Choboter attaches transducers to the piano’s soundboard (making it a speaker) in order to play electronic improvisations, drone collages, and field recordings in a remarkable “duet” with himself.
