MUSIC BY KARL HIRZER & JOSUÉ VALDEPEÑAS
FILMS BY BRADEN DERENIWSKI & VICKI VAN CHAU
SPECIAL GUEST DANIELA CINEL
Prominent figures in the Canadian classical music scene, Karl Hirzer and Josué Valdepeñas perform standard works from the modern and classical repertoire in addition to original songs, mixing electronic and acoustic instruments. Drawing from a wide variety of influences, their music has been described as “heady and psychedelic” and “Satie meets Radiohead”.
Based on Hirzer and Valdepeñas’ track of the same name, Crystal Clear is an innovative and gripping music and dance film. It follows a young woman who undertakes a visceral journey through her own psyche as she reflects on both her actions and the events that will decide her fate. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Braden Dereniwski, it features captivating performances by Kelsie Vanstone and Ashley Mae Johnston, with choreography by Yukichi Hattori. We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts and Calgary Arts Development for this film.
Featuring and inspired by Hirzer's track Daphne and Desmond, off his recent album Relaxer Distractor, In Tandem is a short film shot on Super 8 by awardwinning filmmaker Vicki Van Chau. It is a love letter to the meaningful spaces between two cities, where Hirzer found sources of inspiration, nostalgia and the feeling of home. Recently it received the ‘Best Experimental’ award at the 2024 Edmonton Short Film Festival. This film is supported by the Alberta Media Arts Alliance Society and the Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers.
Traversing the multi-sensory landscape, Canadian artist Daniela Cinel O’Fee creates immersive experiences to investigate the flux between acoustic and visual realms. With a Bachelor of Music degree from University of Victoria, Daniela has worked as a pianist, director, composer and educator in British Columbia for over forty years. Informed by her sonic curiosity, her practice extends the act of listening beyond traditional music making toward experimental intermedia using repurposed instrument parts, obsolete media machines, sculptural installation, field recording, performative soundwalks and graphic scores.
Runtime: Approx. 130 minute performance including 1 intermission.
