Event Description

The Experimental Music Unit presents Dark Glass:

A Sonic Reflection for Deep Times.

Saturday, December 13, 2025, 7pm

Open Space, 510 Fort St. 2nd Floor

Within darkening skies, and darkening times, Dark Glass offers sonic contemplations of the seas, lands and air through glass: Quiet sounds, deep sounds, provocative sounds, eery sounds, uncanny sounds, dark and light sounds. Sounds for contemplating, sounds for breathing, sounds for dreaming, and sounds for nuanced listening.

Glass shimmers between the cracks of tone and tonality, can be pure, rich, crunchy, eerie, very low and very high, and is unpredictable.

Victoria’s Experimental Music Unit is presenting a sonic experience with glass instruments - their first performance with glass since 2016’s Songs for Glass Island was presented in a series of sold out concerts in Victoria and Vancouver. For Dark Glass, EMU’s array of glass instruments features flutes, tuned glasses and tubes; vessels and bowls played by rubbing, hitting, and activated by voice; and large sheets that emit very low frequencies with mallets, bowing, rubbing and striking; as well as shards of broken glass.

The evening also celebrates the release of Songs for Glass Island on Redshift Records created by renowned American/Norwegian artist Camille Norment, and Experimental Music Unit. Songs for Glass Island is situated in the world of glass – its sounds, textures, and contexts – and references artist Robert Smithson’s unrealized land art work “Island of Broken Glass”.

Experimental Music Unit is: Paul Walde, George Tzanetakis, Tina Pearson, and Kirk McNally
