Attn: Diamond Shoppers
Attn: Diamond Shoppers is Lee Hutzulak and Rachael Wadham improvising on a black vinyl folding card table covered with pink fun fur and heaped with their favourite junk. Two microphones, actively controlled through a mixer are positioned a foot apart and above the table, amplifying the tiniest sonic movements. Lee and Rachael have enjoyed playing and recording together at various venues in both Vancouver (The Cellar, Western Front, The Video In, 1067, WRKS DVSN) and Victoria (The Fifty Fifty).


Glass Plates
Glass Plates are an acoustic improvising trio from Vancouver. What began as Sunday afternoon musings on brief (<3 mins) meditations on texture and timbre, evolved into regular correspondence, recording, and performance. The trio consists of Canadians Jeffrey Allport (on snare and trumpet) and Robert Pedersen (valve trombone), and erstwhile American Chandan Narayan (autoharp). Glass Plates recordings are spare and prized. A 10" ep documenting a 2006 performance at Vancouver's Chroma Books will be available in late 2007.
