SOTM are touring Canada to release their first studio recording, Amplified Clarinet and Trumpet.
A duo featuring the hollowed-out sounds of Elizabeth Millar and Craig Pedersen playing amplified trumpet and clarinet, Sound of the Mountain comes from a strong history of improvisation and extended performance techniques, offering their audience long-form deep listening experiences through the sculpting of vitalized breath. They play improvised music and composed material in the form of graphic scores created by the artists. Highlights of their work include concerts across Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, British Columbia, Singapore, Australia & Malaysia, including 2016 editions of Halifax’s Obey Convention and Pop Montreal, and a week long residency at Concordia University’s Matralab with the electro-acoustic duo Instant Places. In August SOTM head to Japan for a three-month residency before returning to Southeast Asia and Australia to tour.
