About the Program:
Archive features three works that are part of an ongoing collaborative concert project called 'Filaments' for violin and electronics by artists/composers from across Canada and the U.S. Initiated in 2018 by Ilana Waniuk with generous support from the Canada Council for the Arts and the SOCAN Foundation, each collaboration explores what happens when electroacoustic, multi-media, or improvisational elements stretch the boundaries of what it means to compose/perform/create works for ‘solo’ violin.
Following a brief intermission, Ilana will be joined by Teresa Díaz de Cossio to perform 'Archive' (2023), an ongoing modular, audiovisual project dedicated to exploring memory, ritual and connection. Created by Ilana Waniuk in collaboration with Teresa Díaz de Cossio, Archive currently consists of a set of IV modules (artifacts) intended to be used as invitations for collaborative audiovisual improvisation and experimentation. Artifacts take the form of video scores, live visuals, graphic or text scores, audio files (digital/analog) and objects.
*Commissioned by Ilana Waniuk with generous support from the Canada Council for the Arts.
