This week, Ottawa/Hull’s independent underground music presenter Debaser presents PIQUE: a new forward-thinking, artist-driven quarterly event series. Since 2013, Debaser has supported and exhibited underrepresented creatives, garnering a reputation for its curation of experimental music and emphasizing inclusivity at its events. Hot off the buzz of its unique music-recommendation project Mood Ring, Debaser is resurfacing from the pandemic lull with a summer kickoff that can’t be missed.
This inaugural installment of PIQUE on June 12th, 2021, features online performances, art, sound and media from a wide-ranging lineup, including: Ami Dang, Asuquomo, GloryHull, Golbon Moltaji, Marisa Gallemit, Matthew Cardinal, Mercedes Ventura, Lauren Bousfield (with visuals by Naomi Mitchell), Orchidae, respectfulchild and See No Stranger (sanjeet & Emissive).
Alongside the performances, artist talk TOPIQUE, with speakers Ami Dang, Matthew Cardinal and moderator Heidi Chan, will delve into “tracing our voices in ambient electronic music.”
