Timar/Parsons
To hear us in a recent performance at Electric Eclectic 6 click here. For this gig we were using the name Sunda Duo. We have since changed the duo to Timar/Parsons for the time being. In the past we were focusing more on Sundanese music. Now, we integrate our own compositions and improvisation with our Sundanese repertoire.
416 Toronto Creative Improvisers Festival
The 416 Toronto Creative Improvisers Festival is a yearly showcase for the vibrant Toronto improvised music scene. The 416 area code’s finest improvising musicians, and sometimes visitors from farther afield, play in a wide variety of styles in 3 or 4 sets over each of the festival’s 4 nights. Their improvisations take the form of completely free-form spontaneous compositions, created entirely “in the moment, at the moment of performance, by the performers”. At other times, a drawing, graphic, object, original musical chart or just the audience ‘vibe’, are used to inspire the music.
The 416 is a celebration of music-making on a tightrope.
