Fish Sung Sounds is a new live performance music series in East Vancouver. Focused on sharing, experimentation, and discovery we aim to make space for intimate listening of the emerging and established sounds of local music and sound artists.
Hosted by What Lab and presented by Mark Sutherland.
Join us for our second Fish Sung Sounds February 16th featuring The Giving Shapes + Jenny Banai!
The Giving Shapes
The Giving Shapes is a collaborative project between harpist/vocalist Elisa Thorn and pianist/vocalist Robyn Jacob that formed in fall 2017 at the Banff Centre for the Arts. Combining elements of through-composed music, improvisation, and extended instrumental and vocal techniques, their music triangulates aspects of new music, creative music and song-writing.
Forming a bridge between their classical training and their explorations within the Canadian creative and indie music scenes, their sound reflects their broad influences from artists including Nico Muhly, Bjork, Jonny Greenwood, David Lang and Caroline Shaw.
Jenny Banai
Jenny Banai, immersed in the arts from a very young age, adapted an almost immediate love for singing. ‘Her voice is agile and expressive with uncommon power and control (Hip Hop Artist, Shad). Though classically trained on both voice and violin, she performs live on electric guitar, bringing a unique vision to the creation of powerful progressive pop, ‘stunning audiences with her intriguing songs and her charming, unpretentious presentation.’ After releasing her debut, Flowering Head, Jenny toured across Canada four times and is now finishing up her 2nd album, Couch Walker, due for release this year.
Accessibility Info
What Lab is located at 1814 Pandora Street. There is no dedicated parking, only street parking. The venue is located on the second floor up one flight of stairs, but there is a ground level accessible entrance through the back of the building. Seating is typically informal, and will include some combination of chairs, floor seating, couches, and cushions. There is one single-occupancy, gender-inclusive washroom. The washroom is not big enough for larger style wheelchairs to completely turn around in while the door is open. We are a trans-inclusive space.
