Experience something COMPLETELY different this Friday, March 2 from 9 to 1 a.m. with THE CURIOUS and THE ERIC STACH FREE MUSIC UNIT. PWYC event. 105 Clarence (south of Horton) in London, Ontario.

What you will get is something a bit unusual with a dark groove followed by an extension of jazz that lives outside of conventional time and melody and harmony -- just what it says -- Free Music

Eric Stach and his Free Music Unit have been playing underground venues in London Ontario for decades -- now Eric has built his own studio and using it to hold concerts. Beautiful acoustics in a friendly environment -- really a place to stretch out and explore the possibilities of music. Eric puts musicians together and lets them communicate outside the normal boundaries of harmony, form and rhythm -- a treat but also a challenge for the musicians -- not for the faint-hearted.

THE CURIOUS is a new group based in London which was seeded in a two-part collaboration. Kevin Dunklee is a composer who experiments with form and harmony -- his primary instrument is trumpet, and he has also been playing and composing on the piano all his life. Tom Heyda is a songwriter, singer, bass clarinet player and guitar innovator who also came to the table with a stack of songs. Meeting by chance, they really seemed to complement each other's work extremely well, so they continued to bounce ideas back and forth and then to include other instruments.

They have now been working together in "the laboratory" for a bit over a year, and at this point they have developed a strong rhythm section with a good sense of the music -- which grooves in subtle ways sometimes and stretches in others......hard to really describe.

In any case, it will really be a night of contrast..........but also a night of common exploration for all the musicians involved. Definitely like nothing you will normally see anywhere.......
