Bio
snack! Bio "Tenure" is the culmination of ten years of creating, experimenting and recording together. Snack!'s fourth full length release was recorded and filmed live in front of an audience of 300 at the beautiful, state of the art, King Street Theatre in Kitchener. The live DVD and CD package documents snack!'s improvisational material and also the best of their catalogue of songs. Snack!'s live show could best be described as layers of Latin and Eastern melodies that create textures that weave through the groove-based songs only to end in unexpected places. Focus on combining different genres and instrumentation within each song is a key ingredient to how snack! creates their arrangements and improvisations. Snack!'s unique "globally-infused textural groove-rock" combines the influences and heritage of each musician. Their live performances focus on exploring and expanding on the boundaries of these genres within each song's structure to take the listener on a trip around the world within one piece. The Show and Workshops To celebrate the release of the project, we are having a DVD/CD release party & concert on Sunday, June 10 at the Gig Theatre in Kitchener. The venue is a seated theatre, suitable (and comfortable) for all ages. We will be running an improvisation workshop during the day for anyone who is interested in attending. The workshop will be free for those who purchase a ticket for the release party that night and the DVD/CD (a total of $25). A large part of what we do as a band focuses on improvising, but not in the typical sense. Our improv is not based on trading solos, but instead, creating textures, developing motifs, rhythms and morphing and combining different musical genres. This is a great chance for students of all levels and musical influences to learn some different ways to view improvising and communicate musically within a band setting. The workshop will be broken into sections each focusing on one of the main elements of our approach. 1. Rhythmic development – partly a percussion workshop, but also how an improv can develop on a rhythmic level more than on a harmonic or melodic level where the groove is the most important element. During this section we will also have an MC sit in to help demonstrate how to accompany spoken word and hip hop. 2. Ambient improve – creating textures to help move an improv forward and the use of space and dynamics 3. The use of themes and motifs in improv – we will be exploring the use of theme and variation in improv 4. Stylistic improv and the fusion of different styles Tickets $25 – DVD / Concert / Workshop $15 – Concert Only Tickets will be available at the door, but advance tickets are highly recommended.
