Whether you avoid or self-identify as a hipster, youre going to love this chance to poke fun at all things plaid. Teeming with irony, indifference, and questionable fashion, we step through to the other side of the cultural looking glass in a parody of generation Y. Through poignant musical commentaries on fashion trends, Internet memes, and other absurdly common cultural phenomena, Spectrum turns a dusty mirror on Millennials. Weve assembled a horde of talented and trendy composers from Toronto to probe the peculiarities of pop culture through a series of two-minute musical vignettes (so that you have time in between to tweet, post, eat chipsor just space out). Be warned: From Gangham Style to LOL Cats, no area of our collective consciousness is off limits. The program features two pieces by Shannon Graham: Shit Girls Say, a commentary on the representation of twenty-something women in pop culture versus Canadian literature with text sources ranging from tweets to Margaret Atwood, and Seeing the World Through Frames Without Lenses, a new collaboration with emerging Toronto writer Victoria Hetherington featuring a series of ironic odes paying tribute to ridiculous fashion trends.
