EarthBall are a wild ensemble from Canada, mainly based on Vancouver Island. Their inception was serendipitous, emerging out of necessity when Isabel Ford, John Brennan, and Jeremy Van Wyck needed a name for a gig. What began as a pragmatic solution blossomed into an artistically conceived project. Embracing complete improvisation, free expression and a truly psychedelic sound, the group's lineup expands for different projects and now features Kellen Maclaughlin on Guitar and Liam Murphy on Saxophone. Each member brings a diverse musical background, having been part of various bands such as Shearing Pinx, Kamikaze Nurse, Eschatons and Psychedelic Dirt. From their first cassette Fruiting Bodies (2021) to It’s Yours (Upset The Rhythm, 2024)—hailed by The Quietus and The Wire—they have steadily pushed the limits of free-form sound. Their 2024 UK tour with Chris Corsano, culminating in a Café OTO residency, solidified their reputation for volatile, ecstatic performances. Now, Actual Earth Music - Volume 1 & 2 (March 7, 2025) captures their raw, uninhibited energy live. Side A features Earth Ball live at The Fox Cabaret in Vancouver, supporting Wolf Eyes on August 4, 2023 and Volume 2 occupies Side B of this LP, showcasing a collaborative summit from the second night of their recent Café OTO residency on May 21, 2024. This recording features a collaboration with pivotal UK improv luminary Steve Beresford on piano and free-jazz phenomenon Chris Corsano on drums. Earth Ball’s performances are more than concerts—they are sonic events, ephemeral and unrepeatable, shaping chaos into something urgent and unforgettable.

Arma Agharta is a sound nomad from Lithuania, constantly wandering around and performing in the farthest corners of the globe—whether it’s a garage in Greenland, a field in Indonesia, or an underground club in Peru. This distinctive practice of cultural exploration continuously informs his sound and his ever-surprising and elusive live performance. The latter usually resembles an unimaginable coalescence of DIY object-based sound art, esoteric neo-dadaism elements, and an outlandish sonic playground. Arma relies on a wide variety of found objects and unusual instrument combinations when he performs, thus every performance is a unique one-off spectacle. With more than 600 performances behind him, Arma Agharta returns to Canada after an absence of 7 years, and this is his very first show in Edmonton.
