Canaries On The Pole

Canaries On The Pole is a quartet of Jacques Foschia on clarinets, Georg Wissel on prepared saxophones, Christoph Irmer on violin and Mike Goyvaerts on percussion, objects and toys.

Its Creative Sources album, identified on Bandcamp as #2 (CS135), was recorded in Mechelen, Belgium, in June 2007. One track incorporates ambient sound captured outside the recording space.

The quartet connects instrumental extended techniques with the acoustics and unexpected events of its environment, making listening and collective reaction central to the music.
