Smash and Teeny

Toronto, ON

Smash and Teeny (Nilan Perera and Sarah Peebles) expand the frontiers of improvisation and sound art through their innovative use of electroacoustics, prepared electric guitar, everyday widgets, and the sublime, illusive tones of the shô. They create a musical expression rich in timbre, lyricism and subtlety, mixing " tidal undulations of tone with the ability to pick out sharp flecks of texture in complex aural environments" (- The Wire). Perera and Peebles have worked together as a duo and with the trio "Cinnamon Sphere" (with Chung Gong Ha, calligrapher) since 1995, performing in Canada, the U.S. and Japan. They have performed at the Kobe International Festival of Modern Music, Space Alta, Plan B (Yokohama, Tokyo), Strange Attractors Festival (Minnesota), The Outpost (Albuquerque) and at The Music Gallery and the Now Lounge, Toronto.
