Current & Past Events
Colourschool Listening Lab: Brown
colourschool listening labs are a series of active research and listening sessions devoted to aural explorations of colour. Each session will focus on a particular hue from the colourschool palette and will add music as well as sound works to a larger, more comprehensive archive. Soundtracks from each session will be made available by podcast or in house.
Participants are invited to bring relevant song titles and or files to each session or may, alternately, make recommendations through the posts section of the colourschool website.

Host Biographies
Raymond Boisjoly is a recent graduate of Emily Carr Institute’s photography program. His recent work addresses the various possibilities of contact as a form of artistic production. These possibilities manifest themselves in very specific responses to a wide range of cultural phenomena from the de-translating of texts to works resisting mediation. An upcoming work negotiates the visual intersection of two cultures, First Nations and Heavy Metal.
Saelan Twerdy lives and works in Vancouver. He completed a Bachelor’s degree in Art History and Film Studies at UBC in 2005 and presently pursues an interest in the intersections between popular music and contemporary art.
Since 2001, he has been employed as a music writer for various publications including: Terminal City Weekly,happyaccidents.ca, chalkedup.com, and The Westender. He is currently the music editor of Color magazine.
