Upon Black Earth | Deanne Walsh
upon black earth is a fusion between live and recorded soundscapes and the contemporary translation of root dance forms as interpreted by the musicians and dancers. Percussion forms the foundation of the musical arrangement, drawing from West African, Afro-Cuban and jazz.
Deanne Walsh is collaborating with the project’s musical director/collaborator, Cuban percussionist, Raul Gomez Tabera and collaborator Israel “Toto” Berriel, Rwandan singer Frankie Joe Rukundo and Bass player Rubim de Toledo. More

solo? | Yukichi Hattori
Yukichi’s new work can be described as a bizarre mix of dance and play displayed in the most cynical way possible. He is collaborating with the Dystopians, a dark yet melodic electronic duo from Edmonton (Ben Goodenough and Jason Troock). Fluid Festival is pleased to be hosting the live debut of Dystopians, with releases scheduled for Spring 2011. More
