 The Night Bazaar is a monthly series of new music presented in conjunction with AIMToronto occuring on the last Wednesday of each month in Toronto, Canada.

Music-wise, we  schedule an equal portion of musicians from the “Ethnic folk music/World Music”  and “Experimental music” leaning heavily on improvisation. There will be chess boards/pieces set-up at most of the tables so the audience can play a game before/after/during the live music as an added form of entertainment.

Kousha Nakhaei (Persian Fiddle) & David Sait - (Chinese Guzheng) in their first musical meeting.

10:50pm - Debashis Sinha's 'shruti'
'shruti'  is a live audio performance that uses field recordings collected in the streets of Kolkata, India as source material. Each iteration of the project is unique---audio is triggered and manipulated live in the moment, in response to the material itself and the environment in which it is played.  A meditation on sound and identity, Sinha's performance uses the everyday sound of Kolkata to craft a travelogue of universal proportions. Previous performances of shruti include shows in Berlin, the Sound Symposium, and the Banff Centre. http://www.myspace.com/oldmonkeymusic (click on any track that says "shruti").
