Mark Cranford
I chase birds and have been birding in Mississauga since age 10. May has always been a special month, early on I would bird Haines Woods north of Melton Road before heading to school at Westacres Public School. I returned to Mississauga 15 years later in the early nineties and have followed local bird activity with the South Peel Naturalists' Club since. While I enjoy about seeing new and different birds, I get a special grin when I hear a bird that I can put a name to and then confirm visually. South Peel Naturalists' Club http://www.spnc.ca/

dreamSTATE
Entangled in patch cords, dreamSTATE's Scott McGregor Moore (Scott M2) and Jamie Todd were submerged in the studio, creating their evolving sound environments with a collection of vintage and modern synthesizers. The first public expression of their electronic explorations was waveforms, an ambient soundscape installation. This ever-changing, multi-speaker creation played continuously for six months at The H5 Project, a holographic art gallery in Toronto. dreamSTATE's first CD release BETWEEN REALITIES (1998) captures a one hour section of the piece in a 'live microphone' recording which merges waveforms' electronic textures with the urban soundscape of the street outside.
Still working in the deep end of the ambient pool, dreamSTATE surfaced to perform their atmospherics live with small powerful synthesizer systems. Fresh from live appearances at the World Electronic Music Festival (WEMF 1998), Interference Orange and the Junction Arts Festival, they celebrated the launch of their first CD with an ambient soundscape performance at Toronto's WEAVE nightclub. In 2000 there was an even stronger emphasis on live performance. Along with appearances at events like the OM Festival and the Alive series, each month the duo performed a chapter of the Drone Cycle 2000 - a tour through the 12 notes of the chromatic scale as foundations for ambient improvisations with a revolving series of special guests.
