how to survive a high rise hotel fire
Suoni Per Il Popolo is proud to announce our 2024 Trading Places artists in residence the collective how to survive a high rise hotel fire, by bassist Nikko Whitworth and oboist Haley Bird. They strive to create a community around co-regulation, meaning-making and nonsense-making through sound. Their experimental conversations meld elements of noise and free jazz, inviting trance states and deep listening in performers and listeners. As a collective of free improvisers, members are invited to collaborate in a variety of iterations of htsahrhf. They perform in Vancouver, in spaces such as 8EAST and Red Gate Arts Society and with the noise music series Teflon Spine. They have released two live recordings of these performances titled do you wrestle with dreams? and chop or shred all pieces of matter to hasten decomposition. On tour, they have played for experimental music series in Western Canadian cities such as Bug Incision (Calgary), Interior Network (Edmonton), and Near Dark (Victoria).
