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.
