Stay tuned for more pictures!

Ottawa New Music Creators presents a unique concert experience this Saturday, November 8: QUIGITAL CORPORATE RETREAT! **Link in bio**
Congratulations Employee 501111! You’ve been selected for voluntary compliance training at the QUIGITAL CORPORATE RETREAT. In this theatrical percussion-centric performance augmented by technology, Quigital, Architek Percussion, and Sarah Albu (soprano) invite you to experience the future of work: faster, louder, and playfully soul crushing. Powered by relentlessly enthusiastic algorithms, vocalist Sara Albu will guide you through product launches, loyalty tests, and passive-aggressive e-mail lounge ballads. Stay alert: compliance training is mandatory, termination is inevitable, and your cell phone can be used for real-time audience metrics. Business casual encouraged. If you’re on time, you’re late.
🥁🎶 Artist Spotlight: Architek Percussion 🎶🥁
Architek Percussion (@architekperc ) creates artistic experiences that entertain, captivate, and challenge audiences—often all at once. Equally at home performing classic percussion repertoire or breaking new ground with daring commissions, Architek pushes the limits of sound using instrument batteries that stretch far beyond the traditional percussion setup.
🗓️ November 8 @ 7PM 📍 Alma Duncan Salon, Ottawa Art Gallery (@ottawaartgallery )
Join Architek Percussion and soprano Sarah Albu for “Quigital Corporate Retreat,” an immersive, theatrical performance where technology meets percussion in the workplace of the future. Expect product launches, loyalty tests, and passive-aggressive email ballads—all powered by relentlessly enthusiastic algorithms.
