American composer John Cage was an avid mycologist. Cage often quipped that music and mushrooms have nothing to do with one another except for the fact that they appear next to each other in the dictionary. LaSaM's new ensemble Experimental Music Unit will put the veracity of this statement to the test.=0D=0A=

Paul Walde, faculty member in UVic's Department of Visual Art and one of the artists featured in the exhibition Paradox, has produced large mushroom spore prints, which together compose a music score intended to be interpreted sonically when exhibited. Accordingly, the musicians, Tina Pearson (glass, flute, voice), George Tzanetakis (bass clarinet) and Walde (bass guitar and percussion), present a program of compositions by ensemble members that use mushroom hunting as a metaphor for uncovering those sounds of rare and raw beauty that exist just beyond perception. Since 2008, LaSaM has been noted for its adventurous sound and music events that inspire new ways of listening.
