TONE concludes on June 28 at the Great Hall as part of the interplanetary journey of the Sun Ra Arkestra.

Maestro Marshall Allen, who joined the Arkestra in 1960, connects the current ensemble members to founder Sun Ra. While unable to tour with the group, Allen helps to extrapolate Sun Ra’s spiritual and sonic trajectories that give rise to their revelatory performances.

TONE: White People Killed Them
2023-06-24 20:00 - 23:30 | Tranzac Club, 292 Brunswick Avenue, Toronto, Canada
The final week of the TONE festival begins June 24 at the Tranzac with the highly anticipated Toronto performance of White People Killed Them—a collaboration between Pulitzer Prize-winning composer and sound artist Raven Chacon, John Dieterich of Deerhoof, and percussionist and installation artist Marshall Trammell. The provocative name calls on the subjectivity of the listener, asserting a polemical sound that roils, resists, or resolves with each individual. The trio create sonic declarations with total abandon, as vaulting electronics are buffeted by scorched guitar and propulsive drumwork. The evening includes two local acts with Not A Band bringing crunchy new wave treats, and Animatist offering polyrhythmic experimental rock formulations.

2023-06-21 20:00 - 23:30 | Tranzac Club, 292 Brunswick Avenue, Toronto, Canada
On June 21 TONE unlocks reactive potential at the Tranzac with Zoh Amba (saxophone) and Chris Corsano (percussion). Each artist brings a prodigious world of sound to their improvising practice, capable of blistering roars, transcendent oases, and worlds in between. Brussels-based Farida Amadou brings her transformative bass playing that takes turbulent crushed tones and renders them familiar and nuanced. The rhythmic agility of Ways (Brodie West, and Evan Cartwright), described by the Wire as “…deeply thoughtful and absorbing,” add to the evening with their refined sound-weaving, bringing an uncanny mutualism to their reeds and drums.
