Ukrainian flute folk fusionAbout this Event
Ukrainian folk traditions refracted through improvisation, drone, and electronic psych-groove. A closer look at the flute not as accompaniment, but as pulse, texture, and unstable signal.
Vol 9: live performance as spontaneous composition — music unfolding in real time without fixed structure or repetition.
This is part of VOLUME 9 of the INSTITUT experiment. Every week, a different hypothesis.
Underground at 620 Spadina Ave — around the back, through the lot to the steel doors, down the stairs, past the mechanical room, through the swinging wood laminate door...
Come early for theatre. Stay for the live score. Or arrive somewhere in between.

SONIC MIRAGE is the solo project of Toronto-based flutist and improviser Artur Safronov (INSOMNIA). Moving between Ukrainian folk music, free improvisation, and contemporary electronic genres, the project blends acoustic performance with trance, psych-groove, and meditative repetition. Drawing from classical and early Baroque traditions as much as from underground electronic music, Safronov approaches the flute as a live, reactive instrument — something capable of carrying rhythm, atmosphere, and raw emotional movement simultaneously. Each set unfolds differently: layered, intuitive, and shaped entirely in the moment.
