TITANIUM RIOT: Pseudo-psychedelic improvising powerhouse with a long history of levitation and other gravity-defying incidents. Their albums 'Kiss The Brain' and 'Squish It!, both released on Lumo Records, went completely super platinum. They have kept a somewhat lower profile since then but continue to levitate whenever possible. ""Imaginative... surreal... oddly compelling"" - Stuart Broomer, Wholenote Magazine. ""Uncompromisingly explorative"" - Tobias Fischer, Tokafi. “Pure, manic energy… push(ing) the music's abstract shapes into something visceral and thrilling"" - Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader.
Peripheral Vision is one of the most exciting and innovative jazz quartets on the international jazz scene, performing together for 15 years. Based in Toronto, Canada, the creative leaders of the group are long-time musical collaborators, guitarist Don Scott and bassist Michael Herring. They have assembled a synergistic musical unit designed to push the boundaries of jazz while engaging the listener with a grooving, toe-tapping immediacy. Their distinctive musical voice bridges tradition and innovation, with deeply felt influences ranging from jazz, rock, classical, and improv, with a focus on dynamic group interaction. Scott and Herring are joined by saxophonist Trevor Hogg and drummer Nick Fraser."
