Synaesthestic Synapses
The last event of the season for the EIL took place April 2, 2009 in Studio A, and featured the group collaborating with visual artist Laura Shintani on a multimedia work entitled Synaesthetic Synapses from Childhood. The music was inspired by Schumann's Kinderszenen and featured Brent Lee (piano), Patrick Nickleson (guitar), Nick Papador (percussion), Trevor Pittman (clarinet), Jessica Pistor (voice and toy piano), and John Wiebe (Ableton mix).
Here is an audio clip; I'm hoping to get some video from Laura soon.

@ Somewhere There in Toronto March 27
It was an Electric Improv Lab reunion with some of the original participants from circa 2003-06: Anna Atkinson (viola), Steve Ward (trombone), Jay Merrow (guitar) and Brent Lee (sax). It was fun to play with the old crew and to hear the AIM Toronto Orchestra on the same bill. Thanks to Steve for organizing this as part of his month-long curation of the Leftover Daylight series.

EIL jam session January 22, 2009
First jam session of 2009 in Studio A with Brent Lee (saxophone, guitar), Patrick Nickleson (guitar), Jessica Pistor (voice), and John Wiebe (laptop). The last improv is a familiar country song with the guitar all messed up and the vocal line grain delayed beyond recognition. Here are the clips, all complete:

EIL jam session November 13, 2008
A slow start for the Improv Lab this year, due to circumstances well beyond the control of a humble free improvisation ensemble. Our first jam session of 2008-09 features Nick Papador (drums and percussion), Brenden Fraser (guitar), Patrick Nickleson (guitar), Jessica Pistor (voice) and Brent Lee (sax and laptop). Here are a few bits:
