We are super excited to constellation records Eric Chenaux back in the house - one of our favourite shows we have had here!

Eric Chenaux was a fixture of DIY and experimental music in Toronto throughout the 1990s and 2000s progressing from playing with local post punk legends Phleg Camp and Life like weeds towards a highly distinctive technical and gestural mastery of amplified acoustic guitar. He lives and works in Paris. Eric Chenaux operates among various musical ‘traditions’ but perhaps most broadly, his records grapple with the relationship between improvisation and structure in very particular, unique, idiosyncratic ways. Chenaux writes love songs, which he sings in a voice honeyed and clear, while his guitar gently bends, frazzes, chortles, diverges and decomposes. Eric also composes and performs music for film and contemporary dance, and collaborates on numerous sound installations with visual/sound artists.

Support from :

James Osler is one of our fave guitarists. His main project is an experimental string quintet called 'PILLOW', a mixture of Contemporary Classical, Jazz/improvised music and haunting folk inspired melodies. For this evening James will be premiering a solo set of some of his most recent ideas, sounds and compositions. Expect an ambient mix of guitar and effects, piano and a 90s toy keyboard
