Vitaminsforyou and Supplements

Thursday, Sept 14/06 is your chance to hear vitaminsforyou (aka: Bryce Kushnier) discuss “new media performance and composition” at the Park Theatre, 698 Osborne Street. Lecture and demonstration begin at 7 pm. Get there early to find a seat. Bryce will talk about genre-mixing and piecing together coherence out of a wide pallet of musical backgrounds. He will discuss his approach to writing music and how he has developed a live setup both as a solo artist and running electronics for other groups. This event is open to the public and industry.

On Friday, Sept 15/06 see Bryce perform live as vitaminsforyou at the Pyramid Cabaret on 176 Fort Street. Opening for Bryce will be dj suz, blunderspublik, and dj co-op. Vitaminsforyou and blunderspublik are part of a growing movement of live, digital-interactive performers, that play a laptop the way an expert pianist would play a piano. Their live performances allow them to manipulate a digital orchestra dynamically; extending and modifying tracks, adjusting melodies and samples on the fly, and interacting with the audience in ways an accomplished conductor could not manage.
Here are just a few reviews of Bryce's work:

Toronto Sun
Bryce Kushnier's Vitaminsforyou project makes music in the strange and wonderful new zone that lies between pop and electronica.

Uptown Magazine
...Bryce Kushnier has developed into one of Canada’s best electronic acts.
