pinkcanoes




























"like 300 calories a day" The Pink Canoes are an electro-acoustic improvisation quintet from Oakland, California. Their vocabulary is as varied as the instruments they play, which includes, but is not limited to prepared guitars, saxophones and laptops to homemade analog synthesizers, circuit bent toys and other salvaged electronics. As an ensemble, they run the gamut of texture and volume, turning on a dime from chunks of abrasive noise to moments of barely audible sound inspection. Oftentimes they strive for the seamless integration of instruments, electronics and electronic instruments. Other times the disjunction between the aforementioned instruments is so severe that it can only be described as a chaotic splattering of electronics amidst a backdrop of sonic depravity. In many cases, these extremes occur just mere seconds apart, which only adds to the quirky, unpredictable intrigue of each performance. With any luck, they'll tie your synapses in knots.
