FLASHBACK | X AVANT XXI: Memory Mannnnn 🔊

For our second night of X Avant, Sonic Bikes improvises with the soundworld of bicycles, and Bilal Nasser’s punk & post-rock infused set delves into resistance, commemoration, and lament.

Bilal Nasser will perform delay- and reverb-drenched solo works for guitar and voice. He will also be joined by a chamber ensemble to present a genre-bending suite about genocidal crisis and diasporic despair. Bilal blends post-rock, post-classical, punk, electronic, and shoegaze in a musical statement of commemoration, resistance, healing and lament. This performance is the world premiere of Bilal’s album, Every Martyr is a Universe, on Constellation Records.

Event 🎫 at 🔗 in bio!

FLASHBACK | X AVANT XXI: Memory Mannnnn 🔊

For our second night of X Avant, Bilal Nasser & Ensemble’s punk & post-rock infused set delves into resistance, commemoration, and lament.

Bilal Nasser is a Palestinian-Canadian guitarist, composer, activist, and harm reduction worker from Windsor On. Raised in a family of primarily Palestinian refugees, he has been a participant in the Palestinian solidarity movement since childhood. His political and musical upbringings developed in tandem through his discovery of punk rock around the time of the 2008 Gaza wars and the later Arab spring uprisings. To Nasser, there is no separation between art and politics, while at the same time he maintains that art itself is not resistance itself devoid of collective political action.

Bilal was trained as a classical guitarist from a young age, and went on to win awards in composition and performance. While his technique is informed by his classical guitar background, Nasser’s music occurs as a frenetic juxtaposition of musical influences mainly rooted in a DIY ethos, namely in post-rock, shoegaze, hardcore, and drone. Nasser is deliberate through his immersion in underground musical cultures existing outside the boundaries established by the classical music world. Through his work, Nasser actively rejects the sterility and rigidity of institutional convention, bridging seemingly antithetical genres to cultivate new capacities for candid innovation- consequently realizing a distinct musical voice, coloured by his liminal exploration of both canonical and underground realms.

His use of electronics, effects pedals, home-made skateboard drone machines, tape loops and singing and screaming into his amplified guitar firmly situate his practice outside of the tradition of solo-guitar performance. He is the first known classical guitarist to have a mosh-pit at a concert. His performances often take place in unconventional settings like skateparks, dive bars, book stores, and warehouses. This is as much a class-conscious as an aesthetic choice, situating his practice in community while prioritizing access over formality.

As our ode to the raw sonics of live processing, we’re excited to announce that X Avant XXI: Memory Mannnnn is coming Oct 14th to 16th!

For 3 nights at the First Unitarian Church, we’ll be deep diving into the world of pedal daisy chains and analogue instrument experiments. Memory Mannnnn is all about tactility and pedal play, bringing things back to the hands, body, and memory. In this rawness and adventure, delay, distortion, reverb, and filtering extend beyond effects and become tools that recreate and transform past, present, future, and memory.

X AVANT XXI: MEMORY MANNNNN is LIVE 💥

This is our ode to mechanical play and the raw sonics of live processing. Memory Mannnnn is about delay, filters, reverb, phase, distortion and how they can coalesce into a play of past, present, future where memory and sound recurs, degrades, and transforms.
