New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) is a non-profit organization, based in Toronto, that produces performances and installations spanning the entire spectrum of electroacoustic and experimental sound art. Included in its productions are: Deep Wireless, Sound Travels, Arts Birthday and SOUNDplay. The objectives of NAISA are to foster awareness and understanding locally, as well as nationally and internationally, in the cultural vitality of experimental sound art in its myriad forms of expression.

Xerocks is an interactive installation designed to turn two copying machines into musical instruments. Press a button on the machine and that will trigger a copying cycle, simultaneously generating a sequence of sounds. By (mis)appropriating and thereby alienating this familiar piece of office equipment, Xerocks ironically morphs an imaging apparatus into a sound production device. Xerocks is presented in partnership with the Consulate General of France in Toronto and is sponsored by Direct Office Solutions.

Performance by Erin Sexton

Using a pair of open electromagnetic Amplifier circuits, Erin Sexton explores sites with historical, mystical, and energetic significance, tuning into frequencies both modern and mysterious. Her own body’s electromagnetic field interacts with the site, Amplifying signals like an antenna through contact with the circuit, becoming a medium for the sonification of waves and feedback.
