Dec. 7, 8PM, The Array Space ($15/PWYC)
Dave Riedstra is a composer, double bass player, and sound artist. His music uses quietness and ensemble interaction to create experiences of heightened coenaesthesia and network sensitivity. His Rat-drifting concert will situate itself between soundart and musical performance, electronic processes and extended solo music for the double bass.
As a performer, Riedstra specializes in collaborating with experimental composers from across the country. In spring of 2018 he toured a programme of five new works called Topography, traveling from the Pacific Northwest through the mountains and the prairies, over the shield, settling in the Great Lakes Basin.
Riedstra has created music across his home of Canada and in the Czech Republic. He has presented concerts with arc•hive artist run centre and the Victoria Composers Collective.
