"Hoarse Rattle will bring together Isaiah Ceccarelli, an exciting young drummer/percussionist from Montreal joining myself and join Arthur Bull, an artist I've been eager to have play for us, for an evening of highly intent music! Both Isaiah and Arthur are strong players, not loud necessarily, but sure in their creation of the music. It will make for a show that will have wide variety of sounds, some rhythm, and probably a weird jangly blues feel in places! I can't wait." - Norman Adams

Dorian is a collaboration with Halifax's Irondale Ensemble Project, and will bring together musicians and actors to improvise together, informed by Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray". It's going to be an exciting partnering of both musicians and actors informing and being informed, by a fascinating book and a collection of really interesting artists!
the sum of its parts

Rob Power and Paul Bendzsa make up Spanner, a duo that makes a practice of playing together on a regular, weekly basis. They make a point of recording each session and analyzing their work. This discipline has resulted in to fantastic CDs and many excellent performances. Tim Crofts and Norman Adams have cooperated to lead the suddenlyLISTEN Improvisation workshop each alternating Monday evening, since the Fall of 2006. This constant work, and the discussion and invention that goes into presenting as long standing an institution as the Workshop, has created a unique relationship between Norm and Tim. What happens when two duos, with years of working together assemble to add their duos? We think the the result will be much greater than the sum of its parts!
