EMPAC announces Fall schedule, including appearance by Album of the Year candidate
EMPAC has released its schedule for the Fall of 2011. Check it out here.
Some of the things that popped out to me:
- Guy Maddin: Tales from the Gimli Hospital: Reframed (Thursday September 1, 7:30 PM) features members of Sigur Ros.
- Four Tet + Jon Hopkins (Thursday September 15, 8:00 PM) Hopkins collaborated with singer-songwriter King Creosote on “Diamond Mine” which is my pick so far for album of the year and one of the most gorgeous records I have ever heard.
- Phantom Limb: 69°S.: The Shackleton Project (Friday September 23 & Saturday September 24, 8:00 PM) What can I say? I love puppetry.
- Francis and the Lights: White Room (Friday October 28 & Saturday October 29, 8:30 PM) Rare performance by the acclaimed pianist and songwriter.
- The Eternal Return: Terry Gilliam’s “12 Monkeys” (Thursday November 17, 7:30 PM) If you haven’t seen a film yet on EMPAC’s Theater screen: let me just tell you that they showed “2001” last year and it was transcendent.
Best year yet? Possible.

Guy Maddin is amazing. I haven’t seen that particular film.
I’m sorry, but does anyone actually go to see any of this? These all seem rather obscure. This has got to be the most under-used venue in the area.
Thanks for the shout, K-Marsh (I’m going to make that nickname happen) – I promise not to heckle you the next time I see you (though the time after that, it’s on).
Obscure to you, DanCF! These are actually big names, it’s just that the region is used to culture a la Crossgates and Fox News.
