MUSICIANS
Jack Campbell (b. 2002) is a violinist and composer. He creates and collaborates in France, The UK, Germany, Switzerland, the USA, and across Canada. His compositional projects build bridges between contemporary classical music and visual arts, dance, and theatre. Campbell works as a soloist, chamber musician, improvisor, and recording artist for LP, video, radio, and sound installation.
Andreas Kahre is an interdisciplinary artist whose work combines images, sound and text in a variety of configurations. With a background in visual art, film and music, he has created installations, sound art, and performance projects in collaboration with theatre, dance and media artists across Canada. He is the artistic director of the Gabriola Institute of Contemporary Art, and currently teaches sound at FIC at Simon Fraser University.
Although better known as an arts journalist, Alexander Varty maintains a parallel practice as a performing musician. A founding member of the Gabriola Microsynth Orchestra (GMO), he’s had an interest in electronic music since buying a Roland SH-1000 sometime in the Paleolithic era, but he can also be seen playing electric and acoustic guitars with artists as diverse as John Oswald, Randy Bachman, bill bissett and Art Bergmann. Alex’s most recent studio project was Pacifica Koral Reef, a recording of Wadada Leo Smith’s music made with fellow guitarist Henry Kaiser and the composer himself on trumpet.
