“Vancouver art-folk outfit Language-Arts is taking its quirky mash-up indie rock, chamber pop and hip hop on the road this summer... and is continuing to generate some serious buzz with its live show.” -Jen Zoratti, Uptown Magazine (Winnipeg, MB)

Mixing oldschool hip-hop with modern electronics, synth pop, and nostalgic... samples and Value Village vinyl cuts, Peter Project (Note there is no "The" in the name) has created his own brand of Disney-core hip-hop. Though mostly instrumental, his collaborations with More or Les, The Wordburglar, and Masia One, have produced wicked results. In the face of boring laptop rock, His live show has become legendary. Manipulating MPCs, Turntables, Keyboards, and a Rapping Television, often at the same time, all to the tune of vintage Sci-fi flicks leave the audiences amused and confused. His most recent self titled genera crossing release (Fuzzy Logic Recordings) was released in the spring, and has been crashing college charts across Canada. In addition to Peter Project's solo material he's remixed tracks for the likes of Woodhands, and The Meligrove band. Recently he's been found behind the decks in support of The Wordburglar, and Keys in the Masia One live band, as well as composing original tunes for Sesame Street.

With an innovative approach to music, Jean-Paul De Roover is much more than a solo artist. Accompanied by live looping, guitars and a voice used as an instrument, this ‘sonic architect’ builds his songs from foundation to facade before your very eyes. Beginning with dead silence, his performance could lead anywhere: fu...ll a capella harmonies, rhythmic tribal beats, noise-layered worlds of ambient rock, campfire-folk, electro-ballads and anything in between. With lyrical content that can be brutally honest, or lovingly truthful, one thing is certain: the originality and creativity of his timeless performances shines through to every listener.Read More
