CP Unit says:
Collective imagination has always been the guiding force behind CP Unit‘s music. Helmed by saxophonist and composer Chris Pitsiokos, structure and content are generated in real time, boldly and simultaneously showcasing principles of the individual and the aggregate. Pitsiokos’ accomplices are certainly fit for the challenge – guitarist Sam Lisabeth (Guerilla Toss), bassist Henry Fraser (Ryan Power, Brandon Seabrook), and drummer Jason Nazary (Jaimie Branch, Little Women) are all stalwarts who have helped shape the current landscape of NYC music. At times maniacal and ponderous, CP Unit’s music is in equal measure shocking and intuitive. Their result recalls aspects of noise rock, musique concrete, psychedelic rock, and Ornette Coleman’s harmolodic funk.

Horseman Pass By says:
Horseman, Pass By. is a Havelock/Ottawa-based duo of Bennett Bedoukian (Drums and Electronics) and Mark Molnar (Cello and Electronics).
They have been playing together for 3 years, have ground gears out on 2 cars, wasted countless hours wandering half liminal and wrung out through truck stops on masticated highways across eastern Canada, are released their debut record – ALL CURSES ARE MIRRORS – in the late spring of 2019.

Their material is comprised of improvisation, white noise transmissions across rural easement posts, and heavily choreographed rhythm and melody, combining the drone rattles of an old diesel engine with the frenzied calls of masses of mating passerines. Their music attempts to bridge the gaps between the echoes out of abandoned cold storage and the fractured voices of underestimated communities. They write songs for those with an ear for the persistent, and the dessication of dead leaves clinging to beech trees at dawn amid the issued reports of the frost cracking forest. The music is at times startling and ecstatic on the two and four, while unflinchingly scraping around the crevices of the bottomlands in an attempt to lay low in the age of irony.

Cinqhole is a multi-disciplinary DIY arts space in the heart of Ottawa’s Hintonburg neighbourhood.

Founded in collaboration between Ottawa Showbox and Black Squirrel Books & Espresso, Cinqhole follows the footsteps of its predecessors—Bruno and Sothea of General Assembly/Assemblée Générale—from whom we’ve learned and been inspired by. We’re grateful and honoured to carry on the tradition of running a DIY arts space in the interest of putting artists first before all else.

As a registered not-for-profit, our mandate is to highlight, support, and elevate the arts in Ottawa. All income we make goes back into keeping Cinqhole sustainable, and allows us to keep any rentals or events we do affordable (or free!) for everyone.
