Paramirabo and Thin Edge New Music Collective collaborate on works by Nicole Lizée, Yaz Lancaster, Louis Andriessen, James O'Callaghan and Julius Eastman.

ChamberDestroy unites the contemporary music ensembles Paramirabo (Montreal) and Thin Edge New Music Collective - TENMC (Toronto) around a common artistic goal. They celebrate a successful collaboration with the premiere of Darkside by James O'Callaghan  and works by Nicole Lizée, Yaz Lancaster's, Louis Andriessen and Julius Eastman.

Nicole Lizée, an imaginative Montreal-based composer, fuses contemporary music, technology and popular culture in her works. New York-based transdisciplinary artist Yaz Lancaster explores relational aesthetics and liberatory politics. The experimental style of Louis Andriessen, developed in reaction to post-war serialist traditions, and the haunting harmonic texture of Julius Eastman's Joy Boy enrich this project.

Generously supported by The Music Gallery, the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council and the Toronto Arts Council, this project features custom instruments and graphics that link the worlds of video games and chamber music.
