SUMMARY:X Avant XXI: Memory Mannnnn Fest Pass
LOCATION:First Unitarian Church
DESCRIPTION:The 21st edition of the X Avant Festival is all about Memory M
 annnnn. \nThe Festival Pass will grant access to three events:\nWednesday
 \, October 14\, 2026 / Ava Mendoza\, Andrew Noseworthy & Grace Scheele\, S
 onic Bikes Installation\nThursday\, October 15\, 2026 / Bilal Nasser & Ens
 emble\, Sonic Bikes\nFriday\, October 16\, 2026 / Solar Organ Ensemble\, F
 or the Youth: Reilluminated (Alexis Nanibush-Pamajewong)\, Sonic Bikes Ins
 tallation\nInitially inspired by the beloved Electro Harmonix Memory Man d
 elay pedal\, our theme encompasses the sonic potential of signal chain pro
 cessing. Festival artists will build on and extend this concept\, connecti
 ng chains of memory through delay\, distortion\, filtering\, phasing\, and
  resonant performances.\nFor this edition of X Avant\, artists approach ef
 fects pedals as inquiry and play\, utilizing live processing to expand the
  sonic palette. We recall a common feature of early Music Gallery presenta
 tions with custom-built instruments that integrate repurposed bike parts a
 nd the mechanical process of pedalling as part of installations and live a
 ctivations. \nOther featured artists consider how memory can be a contest
 ed or vulnerable space\, subject to erasure and distortion\; yet\, memory 
 can also be a site of reclamation and resurgence. In our culminating perfo
 rmance\, we reflect on the transcendent\, timeless\, and embodied sonic me
 mories that manifest across musical traditions.\nAs the festival approache
 s we dwell in the often tenuous spaces between us\, and forge links that b
 ridge creative\, familial\, and community lineage. \nWhat is revealed in 
 this process\, and how might we explore the interplay of past and present 
 as memories recur\, degrade\, and take on new meaning?\n\nBoletos: https:/
