Hello all - 

It is clear, after having taken a few trips and reading various posts about events, that Montreal is a fantastic place to be if one is inclined towards Canada. I, however, am bound for Ottawa to enter a doctoral program and am wondering if anyone out there knows of any progressive music activity/communities in the area. Any information would be most appreciated.

And before I conclude here, a note on the Andreas Tilliander show last night in Chapel Hill, NC - the latter was quite what I expected. Beat-driven, a bit more fluid than his work on Ljud. He does what he does well. Worth seeing. The highlight, though, was one of the opening duos whose name is escaping me now. One word. Starts with a T. REALLY nice experimentation in the vein of Fennesz without being derivative. And the graphics were lovely. Very warm, abstract, a good complement to the music. If the show comes your way, keep an ear open to these two....

Best,

Thomas
