The Artists:
MASON BACH

Toronto based music producer/performer Mason Bach creates unity within an immediate sphere of listeners by making sense of our modern aural landscape. Using a hybrid of electronically generated soundscapes and rhythms juxtaposed by live, modulated violin, Bach creates an awareness of new music and sound amongst the greater population. Trained in classical violin from the age of three and continuing to perform regularly throughout his university years, the foundation was created for a career as a Classical Musician. However, after obtaining a mismatched pair of turntables and a dusty crate of early 80’s Electro Pop and Classic house, his addiction to the rich sounds of Electronic Music was formed. Bach chose to further his education by obtaining an Audio Engineering and Technology diploma. Upon graduating, he has taken extensive post-graduate courses, specializing in the implementation of MIDI controllers and human interface design using Max/MSP allowing him to explore the endless capabilities of sound created through electronic circuitry and computers.

GURPREET CHANA [THE TABLA GUY]

It all started from banging his hands on pots and pans or anything else he could get his hands on to hear and feel the beat. His grandfather Kesar Singh Chana saw this enthusiasm and gave him his first Tabla set and since that moment 29 years ago, there has been no looking back.Gurpreet has been taught in the Punjab Gharana (style) from his Ustad Ji Professor Parshotam Singh.His passion for percussion has taken him to perform at many music concerts and festivals around the globe.From constantly creating and collaborating amongst his peers, Gurpreet's music has been repeatedly requested and more importantly remembered for its distinctive sound and moving beats.This has led him to perform and record with artists such as Nelly Furtado, Wyclef Jean, legendary UK DJ/ Producer Bally Sagoo, Juno Award winning Kiran Ahluwalia, The Bombay Dub Orchestra, Jorane, DJ Rekha, and open for Pete Rock and Lady Sovereign.
