Bass Node is primarily a bass music night with live visuals. This time we’ve got an extra special DnB edition! Lineup: Remedy Living~Stone Poly-Esther Kyla D Astrolope (ambient, opening set) Bass Node goes like this: we open the night with a TouchDesigner visuals workshop, this time on RayTK. Astrolope plays an ambient opening set in the main room while the workshop runs up in the lounge, so come down early for it. After the workshop, the DJs get going and the party starts. We nerd out in the lounge and open the projections to any VJ who wants to plug in (openHDMI). Come for the DnB, stay for the visuals :) 🗓️ Oct 16 ⏰ Workshop 8–10 🔊 DJs + openHDMI 10–late 📍 Alternity, 333 Bloor St W 💻 Bring a laptop if you want to plug in for openHDMI 🎫 Limited spots, link in bio . . . . . #touchdesigner #openHDMI #DnB #generativeArt #vj by @a.melv
// BASS NODE: EPSILON Workshop Overview For this Bass Node workshop I’ll be going into extending touchdesigner, primarily with the amazing RayTK, a codeless SDF toolkit by @t3kt and creating a few audio-reactive scenes with it. I will also be talking about T3D (by @josefpelz) and combing RayTK with it. 🎶 - a snippet taken from a live practice session for this ambient performance by Astrolope! 🗓️ Oct 16 | ⏰ Workshop 8–10 (openHDMI 10–late) 📍 Alternity, 333 Bloor St W 💻 Bring a laptop if you want to plug in 🎫 Workshop Limited spots, link in bio * Workshop is in a separate room, feel free to come just for the ambience too. . . . . . . . #touchdesigner #generativeart #audioreactive #rayTK #ambient by @a.melv

Bass Node Tapes Vol.1 is out today! Featuring @measure.music, @cellsync_, and @kilometreclub. I'm excited to be able to release this project with the help of @imaginarynorth, and I can't wait to hear what people think of it! The link to the album is astrolope.bandcamp.com/album/the-bass-node-tapes - It's also linked in my bio. This video clip is from track 7, Solar Sailing ft. @kilometreclub. It's possibly the least "ambient" moment on the album, featuring a prominent drum beat and distorted guitar. Yet it fits in seamlessly with the rest of the album, maintaining its otherworldly, abstract quality. Btw if you don't know, @bass.node is a series of hybrid #TouchDesigner workshops/open HDMI bass music nights hosted by @a.melv at @alternity.hub. I recently played at the 5th one, and I'll be posting a long-form video of that performance on my youtube channel soon! Stay tuned. by @a.melv

REMEDY // BASS NODE: Epsilon Artist Feature Toronto-based Remedy brings 15+ years behind the decks and an unmistakable blend of soulful liquid, deep rollers, jungle and high-energy Drum & Bass. A proud member of the DNB Girls Collective(@dnb_girls), she’s known for seamless mixing, emotionally charged selections and a deep love for the underground. Having shared stages with some of the biggest names in Drum & Bass, Remedy offers more than music. She creates a space where the dance floor becomes a sanctuary, and music heals. Because music is the remedy. This one’s special. Bloom 2024. Rain lasers, first time Remedy blew my mind. 40Hz Stacks beach party. First time my partner and I danced to her together. Promise NYE. Running my projections above the stage during her set. Bloom 2026. Two years later, same festival, side by side again. Now she’s playing Bass Node. Feels full circle. Till the circle expands. 🎶 Take Me Higher - ICONS 🗓️ Fri Oct 16 ⏰ Workshop* 8–10 🔊 DJs + openHDMI 10–late (bring a laptop if you want to plug in) 📍 Alternity, 333 Bloor St W 🎫 Limited workshop spots, link in bio * Workshop is in a separate room.

On November 1st, Fractal continues to present the acclaimed “Sound Bath Symphony”. A completely innovative experience where a sound bath is elevated into a symphonic experience. Come to @standardtime.to for an immersive journey through music, sound, word and the imagination. Blending a live string quartet, piano and synthesizers with ancient ceremonial instruments and guided meditation, Fractal invites you to step outside the pace of everyday life and into a space for deep listening, reflection, and discovery. Part concert, part meditation, entirely immersive… an experience designed to reconnect you with yourself and the people around you, where sound and music become a pathway to presence and every moment unfolds in its own way. Come as you are, choose a seat or bring your own mat and pillow, and let yourself be carried by the experience.

A few highlights from the countless incredible moments from Bloom Fest! Getting to spend a full week on the land from Tuesday to Tuesday and seeing everything and everyone transforming the land into a magical oasis for a few days and then watching it all come down is quite the treat. Bloom 2024 was the first festival I’ve contributed something to and it was my favourite experience until bloom 2026! If I told myself in 2024 where I would be at the 2026 one (a man of many hats; lasers/lights/video/installation) I would not have believed it! This was really a dream come true and the most wonderfully organized and managed event I think I’ve ever been a part of. Shoutout to the sound team for the crispiest sound system tried just right. @jobinrohnston @chadchev Thank you first of all to the organizers it was truly incredible to watch the collaborative effort of putting this on, so to Win , Farah, and Sophia thank you from the bottom of my heart! @winsoundz @far__out @sophia.alexandra.music Next up the biggest thank you to an absolute rockstar Venus! I literally probably would have broken down without Venus by my side but no matter how much we had to do Venus came with a smile and one of the most diligent work ethics I’ve ever seen! @venusqueerartplanet and thank you @marko.is.swimming for inviting me into your world, training me on the lasers and being one the best genuine kind humans I know! And finally thank you my lovely partner @francescaconforticeramics who was always there for me and supported me even though I was running around like a chicken with its head cutoff. Can’t wait to continue to be in bloom with you ❤️ by @a.melv
