The Sound of the Mountain is Elizabeth Millar and Craig Pedersen. Playing amplified clarinet and trumpet, they fill rooms with sounds of breath, wind, wood and metal, creating an intimate noise. They perform long pieces often spanning 30-40 minutes, which take their audience through a rich and rewarding sound experience. They are recently returned from concerts in Australia and South-East Asia and are currently working on their first recording to be released in early 2016. Elizabeth Millar is currently studying a music performance major in Fine Arts at Concordia University with world-renowned contemporary and improvising clarinettist Lori Freedman. Elizabeth is an active improviser in Montreal and has performed across Canada and internationally in Australia and South-East Asia. She continues to develop an innovative and unorthodox approach to her instrument and to her performance art practice.

Night Tide is a solo project by Soma Morse using pedals, tapedecks and tape, radio signals, feedback loops, contact mic and other objects to generate sound. Drawing on the techniques and processes of ambient, drone and harsh noise, Night Tide has been playing shows since 2012. Previous projects include Froghat & Sofaqueen (2008-2011), a DIY collab with Jennye Rieper. In addition to Night Tide, ongoing projects include bands Nearly Dead (trumpet, pedals) and Ruby Karinto (pedals, synthesizer).
