Guess the game Render File be scoring on Thursday!

Game Night is coming to the CMC on December 4 — and we’re flipping the script on what a concert can be. For one night only, the CMC becomes a basement jam, an experimental club, and a live gaming arena all at once. Toronto’s own Render File opens the night with their signature approach: live-scoring video games as they’re played on the spot. No two performances are ever the same, and anything can happen. Closing the night is producer and beat maker Obuxum, bringing her electrifying sound—part hip hop, part house, part undefinable energy—to the room. Her work spans festival stages, Polaris-nominated projects, and the indie game world, and she’s ready to take over the CMC. If you’re looking for a night that’s unpredictable, immersive, and completely unlike a traditional concert, this is it.

Le temps d'une soirée, le CMC se transforme à la fois en jam session underground, en club expérimental et en arène de jeux vidéo en direct. Le groupe torontois Render File ouvrira la soirée avec son approche caractéristique : accompagner en direct des jeux vidéo joués sur place. Aucune performance ne se ressemble, et tout peut arriver. La soirée se terminera avec la productrice et beatmaker Obuxum, qui fera vibrer la salle avec son son électrisant, à la fois hip-hop, house et d'une énergie indéfinissable. Son travail s'étend des scènes de festivals aux projets nominés aux Polaris, en passant par le monde des jeux indépendants, et elle est prête à conquérir le CMC. Si vous recherchez une soirée imprévisible, immersive et complètement différente d'un concert traditionnel, ne cherchez plus.

Somehow six months have passed and our residency at the Tranzac has come to a close. When we started back in April, the New Symphony Orchestra was just beginning to take shape. Over these months, this residency gave us the space to experiment, take risks, and imagine new ways of making music together. We are deeply grateful to all of the musicians, artists, and behind the scenes collaborators who brought their creativity, generosity, and fearlessness into these shows. Thanks to you, a vision for a new way to approach and engage with classical music was able to materialize and expand far beyond what we thought might be possible. To our audiences, thank you for listening with open ears and meeting us in these unpredictable spaces. And of course, an enormous thank you to the @tranzac292 for welcoming and supporting us every step of the way. More to come….soon 📸 by @daniellesum

Meet us under the full moon tonight for the Back to School Field Trip! We’ll be at Leslie Lookout Park, featuring Render File improvising music to video games projected onto the park’s giant concrete structure, and an opening set from Owen Kurtz and live filmmaker Callon Murphy. Directions begin at Queen St and Leslie St. The two video games being featured today are “Miniatures” and “MOONLIGHT”. The former has a beach level to go along with the park’s sand pit, and the latter is entirely based around the full moon and obelisks. Perfect. The Render File ensemble consists of Josh Sparks, Aidan McConnell, Sam Laramee, and Ben Rositan. Owen Kurtz + Callon Murphy consists of Callon Murphy and Owen Kurtz.
