Join us at the gallery on Saturday, May 24 as the Boreal Electro-Acoustic Music Society (BEAMS https://blog.beams.ca/  ) presents Edmonton’s contribution to the “noise that stretches around the world” on International Drone Day.

To help you understand what Drone day is, this is taken straight from the official droneday.org website:

“Every year we make a noise together that stretches around the world.

What is Drone Day?
An annual celebration of drone, community, and experimental sounds!

Why do we drone?
To awaken tiny vibrations in our skin and between all our bones.

Who
Everyone is welcome to organize or attend!

BEAMS  tells us that “drone music is music with long tones, think the tubes on a bagpipe that the musician doesn't control, those are drones. Drone music is like that.”

Live performances start at 2pm and will run through 11pm with lots of droners. In no particular order: Garlands @rolandjazzchorus69 , Jared Epp  , attasecond with Elijah Hennig and Gary James Joynes, Wayne Defehr, James Parrott, Nathaniel Sutton, paula eve kirman  , Bibby Fib  from Lloydminster , Gray Hartley and lunar blue.
