Glissandro 70 + Khora & Mas Aya Double LP Release with Sweet Lips

Event Details

Event type: All Ages / Licensed

GLISSANDRO 70 (bandcamp)

Glissandro 70 is the duo of Craig Dunsmuir and Sandro Perri. The project began in 2003 as an invitation from Chicago’s Muted Tones weblog to collaborate on music that sat between analogue dub and pop abstraction. That initial piece, an extended rework of material Dunsmuir had developed for his Kanada 70 Solo Guitarkestra, was retitled and edited for the occasion, becoming "Something", the opening cut on their acclaimed self-titled 2006 debut for Constellation, a five-song full-length fleshed out between 2003 and 2005. 20 years later, their archival follow-up G70 2: Bones of Dundasa picks up threads from that era and expands the frame, featuring pieces that were created, abandoned, lost and later rediscovered. Plans once floated to evolve the project into a new iteration called Dundasa 80 were ultimately shelved, but the act of revisiting the archives in 2025 led to this carefully assembled release. The expanded band will include Blake Howard & Nick Storring, plus appearances by Karen Ng, Doug Tielli and Ryan Driver.

KHÔRA & MAS AYA (bandcamp)

Mas Aya & Khôra are the spirited Toronto-based musical partnership of multi-instrumentalists Brandon Miguel Valdivia (Mas Aya) and Matthew Ramolo (Khôra), who skillfully combine hypnotic electronics with interlaced percussion lines and processed acoustic arrangements. Their refreshing sound foregrounds the tonalities of the sacred, hitching the progressive tendencies of minimalist rock and electronic complexity to the raw power and emotion of free jazz and ambient modal musics. 

Together on their latest LP Primordial Mind, the duo fuse ecstatic polyrhythms, transcendent melodies, and captivating forms into immersive, rhythm-forward ceremonial sound worlds designed for deep abandonment, live intensity, and transformative collective experience, demonstrating the enmeshment of inner life and collective consciousness.

SWEET LIPS (bandcamp)

Sweet Lips is the duo of Owen Kurtz & Sierra Weston. They write, record and perform avant-pop music. Their work focuses on exploring structures and frameworks in the pop genre, using experimental approaches and techniques. Kurtz works primarily with electronic devices, tapes, and Weston plays a no-input mixer and sings. Their debut EP “Sweet Lips Debut” was released in December 2024 on the Ministry of Phonic Services label. They subsequently released “Sweet Lips Singles” in November 2025 which included excerpts from multi-media installation work exhibited through 2025. They are working on their debut album.
