Nobody does it like Michael Peter Olsen. Since coming to prominence in the early 2000s as a member of the Hidden Cameras, Michael has gradually honed his craft as a cello visionary and collaborated with a long list of world-renowned artists including Drake, Haim, Ed Sheeran, and Sharon Van Etten. In recent years, he’s routed his more abstract impulses into solo compositions under his own name, and is about to follow up his 2021 debut solo album Yearning Flow with Narrative of a Nervous System, to be released on October 27 via Hand Drawn Dracula.
On the day of his album release, we’ll be celebrating with a show as unique as Michael’s music and career, in partnership with Adamson, Canada’s most recognized exporter of loudspeaker technology for the pro-audio sector. Amid the rustic backdrop of the Brothers Dressler woodworking studio, where Wavelength presented two memorable shows in 2019, Michael’s cello explorations will be bolstered by an all-star band including Narrative of a Nervous System guest stars Owen Pallett, and alaska B (Yamantaka // Sonic Titan) and powered by the Adamson Fletcher Machine immersive 3D audio rendering engine so every note can be experienced as intended.
Add in an opening solo set by Born Ruffians singer-guitarist Luke Lalonde and special visuals by Toronto/Buffalo-based multimedia artist and professor Shawn Chiki, and it’s bound to be a special night that will sound and look unlike any other.
