Land of Marigold has a new recording! cresosote was recorded in the Montréal winter of 2013 and has been released on Toronto's Barnyard Records. Much has happened in the world and in our music since we recorded our first record (on Calgary's Bug Incision label) about 7 years ago.

Something Else! Festival Artist-in-Residence

I am excited and honoured to be the artist-in-residence at the Something Else! Festival which will be held in Hamilton Ontario from June 19 to 22. Artistic director Cem Zafir has put together a really great programme with fantastic creative musicians from Hamilton, Toronto, Montreal, and the Netherlands.

I will be giving three solo performances and a workshop. I'm very grateful to Cem for being such a wonderful host, and for affording me the opportunity to present my work in this context.

If you live anywhere near Hamilton (Guelph, Toronto, Buffalo, etc) it's going to be a great festival and you should come check it out!!

Jean Derome's ''Résistances'' at FIMAV 2015.

JEAN DEROME will turn 60 years old on June 29, 2015. He will be celebrating ''l'Année Jean Derome'' from May 2015 to June 2016 with a number of events, and the party will kick off at FIMAV with a bang: the premiere « Résistances » for 20-piece orchestra.

I'm glad to be back at FIMAV with Jean for the 4th time; my first appearance at the festival was with his 12-piece group 'Dangereux Zhomes +7' in 2009, and we have played together as part of both of the Ratchet Orchestra's performances. It is a pleasure and an honour to make music with someone who is just incapable of phoning it in.

'Résistances' is an amazing piece of work! It's an hour long, and much of it is in an unusual tuning and temperament, based on the 60hz hum of electricity in North America. The orchestra features some of Montreal's best and most idiosyncratic improvising musicians, and we are rehearsing 9 times for this show. The music is really going to fly!!!

Land of Marigold plays 7th annual Mardi Spaghetti Marathon!

Land of Marigold will be performing as part of a 9-hour musical marathon in celebration of the 7th anniversary of the Mardi Spaghetti series. Josh and I are two of the co-founders of the series (along with Pierre-Yves Martel and Philippe Lauzier) and probably first performed together there, in the back room of Le Cagibi. Josh is still involved in running the series, and it'll be a pleasure to play a set in the bright afternoon together as part of a program of 9 groups, from 3pm to midnight on April 14. 

The series is dear to my heart, and is one of the most important places for the development and performance of creative music in Montreal. There's no experience quite like listening to 4 or 5 performances of wildly varied groups. I highly recommend  it, and plan to be there for the full 9 hours. I hope you'll be there too!!

Tim Crofts Solo + Trio avec Thomson et Epps
&
Epps/Mettler/Foisy/Hamel + Ensemble SIM


samedi le 14 février ($10):

Tim Crofts, pianist de Halifax, fait une tournée canadienne. Içi à Montréal il jou en solo ainsi qu'avec un dynamic duo des cuivres: Scott Thomson au trombone et Ellwood Epps à la trompette.

Ce concert et le premier d'un serie mensuel presenté à La Passe parl'Envers. On est très content de vous presenter de la musique créative dans un environment chaleureux et inspirant.

Tim Crofts is a true 21st Century pianist. Tim’s main focus is improvisation & new music. His musical style combines elements of 20th century classical music with free jazz improvisation and world music aesthetics. In performance, Tim explores the full sonic capabilities of the acoustic piano through extended techniques and a wide range of piano preparations. He is able to coax a variety of colour and extreme dynamic contrast through employing traditional and non-traditional techniques in tandem. Crofts also performs in electronic settings utilizing a variety of samplers, synthesizers and keyboards to create an even more extended palette of sounds and textures. All these stylistic elements are blended through free improvisation, and the pursuit of the sound of the moment.

In Halifax, Tim is active in both the performance and teaching of improvised music. He has been presented regularly by suddenlyLISTEN in concerts and on tour, with the Crofts/Adams/Pearse Trio. He has performed regularly with the Upstream Music Association and the Upstream Orchestra, including a 2013 performance at the 29th Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville, in Quebec. Tim has also performed with Symphony Nova Scotia at the CNMN Forum, and in other concert with such creative music luminaries as Jerry Granelli, Gerry Hemingway, Graham Collier, Evan Parker and Dave Douglas. In 2014 Tim released two recordings: his solo CD 8 Ball and Doorknob, and Literal Lateral with the Crofts/Adams/Pearse Trio and percussionist Gerry Hemingway.
