EXPERIENCE TONALISM



            Tonalism is an all night ambient happening partly inspired by La
Monte Young’s Dream House and the happenings of the 50s and 60s by artists such
as Terry Riley, John Cage and Yoko Ono. Visitors are encouraged to bring
pillows, cushions, and sleeping bags, lay down and listen. The event features
live performances and DJ sets in an environment transformed by projections,
installations and various multimedia elements. The night flows seamlessly with
quiet and harmonious sounds providing a transformative and contemplative
experience.

On Saturday, June 11, Tonalism will go live! From 6pm to 1am the public will be
able to enjoy live performances, DJ sets and video art in the Rose Garden.

sets, starting with an 8 hour drone by Tim Shaw, live from his studio in
Switzerland, and followed by never before aired sets from Tonalism at Bonnaroo
Festival in 2019 and Sonos Studio in 2016 – plus sets and surprises from dublab
friends. This daylong broadcast provided the opportunity to meditate,
contemplate, sleep, and simply go about our day to day lives in our homes.

06.09.11
TONALISM AT MUSIC GALLERY
TORONTO


            In 2011 we brought Tonalism to Toronto’s Music Gallery. It served as
the Season Closing Fundraising Event for the Music Gallery and transformed St.
George the Martyr Church into an immersive, multi-media experience. Julia
Holter, Matthewdavid, Suzanne Kraft, Teebs, Dntel and frosty provided music
while Alex Pelly created the live visual projections.
           Thanks to David Dacks and Jonny Bunce for making this event happen in
Toronto! The original audio recording was lost in deep space but thankfully the
event was broadcast live on CIUT Radio so we were able to rescue the recordings
thanks to their help. Unfortunately Dntel and frosty’s sets seem to still be
floating out there with the satellites. We hope you enjoy the rest of the
archive.
