Announcing Pique, a new quarterly music & arts series produced by Debaser

May 19, 2021

Happening online on June 12th, 2021 at thisispique.com

Pique is a new forward-thinking, artist-driven quarterly event series featuring eclectic musical, visual and multimedia artists.

Pique is experimental in form and content. Its first edition features live streamed performances by local Afrofusion artist and recipient of the Ottawa Art Council’s 2020 Emerging Artist Award Asuquomo, and dream pop artist Orchidae in collaboration with visual artist Marisa Gallemit.

Additionally Pique is excited to virtually invite you into worlds created by a diverse cast of acclaimed local, national, and international artists:

  • Experience new dimensions of sound with a video performance by sitar-playing ambient composer Ami Dang (Baltimore).

  • Listen closely on a morning sound walk with See No Stranger, a collaboration between curator, DJ and yoga teacher Sanjeet Takhar (Toronto) and ambient/techno DJ/Producer Evan Vincent aka Emissive (Toronto).

  • Come with us on a quiet and reflective night trip scored by Matthew Cardinal (nêhiyawak) (amiskwaciy / Edmonton).

  • Glitch out to video synthesis by noise-pop artist and co-host of Low Pass Gays podcast, Lauren Bousfield (Los Angeles).

  • Reflect during a multimedia piece by interdisciplinary artist respectfulchild (Treaty 6 Territory / Saskatoon).

  • Boogie to an original mix by DJ GloryHull (Hull) in an interactive web player designed and coded by Mercedes Ventura (Ottawa)

  • Sink into an experimental electronic performance by DJ/Producer Golban Moltaji (Tehran).


Plus join us live for the first edition of Topique, a new talk series presented as part of Pique, featuring Ami Dang, Matthew Cardinal, and moderator Heidi Chan aka Bachelard (Toronto).

Cost: Pay-what-you-can with a suggested donation of $25.
