 eredith Bates (Salt Spring Island) performs selections from her recently r
 eleased album\, The Observer Effect (2026). A reference to a key principl
 e in quantum mechanics and philosophy—the notion that the act of observi
 ng alters that which is being observed—The  Observer Effect is a medita
 tion on “perception\, illusion\, and metamorphosis—the subtle processe
 s through which sound\, like identity\, shifts under pressure". \n \nTo
