grej is the solo project and performing pseudonym of Greg Harrison, a Toronto-based percussionist and composer specialising in classical minimalism and electronic music whose resume includes performing with the likes of Cirque Du Soleil, Video Games Live, Chloe Charles, Reuben and the Dark, R. Murray Schaffer, Fred Penner, and Mark Duggan.
Greg received national acclaim with his debut album Glass Houses for Marimba when it was selected as part of the CBC’s Top 10 Classical Albums of 2015 and nominated for an ECMA for Classical Recording of the Year (2016-2017).
The video is for “Part 3” of the new EP i/Variations, due out on Friday, and was choreographed/performed with dancer Mateo Galindo Torres with artist Carlos Delgado. It explores the process of expressing and absorbing rebellious actions. The work is built from traditional Colombian folk songs, which cater to the perpetual rhythmic layers. This eventually gets swallowed by waves of synth and bowed metal objects – the thematic motif of the album.
Good morning!
Hello
I see it’s going to be busy here again today
Hello hello! I hope I’ll be able to keep up with the business today!
I think that was supposed to read *busyness, not business.
Thanks for this Garf. I like this Grej track very much and interesting vid. I must explore this artist more.

Seriously, this is right up my sonic alley.
I should be covering the EP release tomorrow so don’t be too surprised if you see the same video again
I am good with that. 😀
I haven’t checked grej out yet, but I look forward to doing so.
i have enough Aeroplane points to get me to Vancouver
I have enough Airmiles points to get me home.
I do not have to pay for accommodations in Vancouver.
I just got a retro pay cheque for a back dated union agreement ….
Arcade Fire?
and what about the rest of us? 🙁
That sounds like a good plan to me.
floor? i always go for the floor but have not been to a show of this size fro quite some time? Weird lay out too. stage in the middle so I guess they walk around the stage through the concert.
please do come too 🙂
I’ll start walking tomorrow
it’s a plan!
you can walk under water?

which ticket should i blow the money on?
The experience of standing close to the stage can’t be beat but I find for bigger shows I prefer to have a seat to sit in. Standing on the concrete for hours just doesn’t work for my back anymore.
If I walk south I could go through the tunnel and turn left or I can go north and island hop
I may have spent too much time thinking about this
Those must be resell prices right? Crazy. H would be my first choice of what is available if I don’t worry about the cost.
Island hopping might be fun! Wear good shoes, though Garf, it’s a long walk.
I’m with Darbar on sitting in seats, rather standing on the concrete floor. My feet always cramp up when I stand too long on concrete.
I know, I am having a hard time finding a direct ticket seller.
Flights are done and am working on finding a better show price
we should create a site that compares ticket prices for live events from different sites (including taxes and fees)
@Morgana, have you tried http://ev8.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/SEGetEventInfo?ticketCode=GS%3ATKTLDR%3ACOL17%3A1014%3A&linkID=tktldr&shopperContext=&pc=&caller=&appCode=&groupCode=MLH&cgc=
@gary that is where i ended up indeed.
kind of weir experience as it did not tell me the general admission ticket i was working on buying was sold out until after the fact and that i was reallocated to section Y, Row 12, seat 14.
I have the option to cancel in the next hour if I can find something better from one of those other sites … race you to the best ticket!

that USD price is still better than the Canadian sites after exchange. I still don’t think I can drop that kind of cash tho. I think I’ll stick with my $114 purchase. Mostly because I am tired and lazy and have to get ready for work now;)
I think that is a good choice morgana. It should be a great show!
phew, i can’t believe i pulled the pin on that!
I’m going:)
first i have to go and get ready for work and do that stuff
Congrats morgana! 😀
