show: Saturday 22 February, 2pm

Toronto's Thom Gill has been busy appearing in many forms and furnishing a variety of vibes, exploring the world of song at home and abroad with blissfully confused audiences.

"Placing a disarming sincerity and vulnerability amidst a peculiar array of stylistic cues, ...imaginative melodic-harmonic tics, and lyrics that express a rather complicated relationship with spirituality, religious iconography, and love," (Musicworks magazine) Gill's solo project THOMAS may interest you. His commitment to how sound and song participate in life, and vice versa, leads him in fresh directions with each performance. As well as his work as a solo artist, Thom has performed alongside Owen Pallett, John Southworth, Katie Stelmanis (Austra), and Devon Sproule, to name a few.

For a limited time, Matthew Pencer explores the effective dynamic objectivity of audible spectral content to maximize value-added super premium frequency acquisition experiences.

In 2012, Matthew received the 2012 Richard Zylog Award of Excellence. He is currently at work on the forthcoming 'Tony One Presents: Purpose Code', expected for large scale pre-re-release in 2015. He lives and works in Toronto.
