Madog in Motion, Episode 22: Canadian Composers Take Centre Stage

The Canadian Music Centre exists to stimulate the awareness, appreciation and performance of Canadian new music by making the music of its Associate Composers available through the Centre’s collection, information resources, and production and distribution services.

The Canadian Music Centre today has grown to be Canada’s only organization mandated to house and actively promote and disseminate the music of Canada’s composers within Canada and internationally. With over 700 established Canadian composers to date, CMC makes the music of these composers accessible through an array of programs. At its core, the CMC houses a public lending library and archive totalling over 20,000 music scores and recordings which continue to expand as composers deposit new works. CMC accepts new Associate Composers bi-annually through a juried process upon which they may deposit their works to CMC archives.

The Centre remains committed to reaching an ever-greater audience, placing Canadian composers’ music front and centre in the minds of Canadians and music lovers around the world.

Madog in Motion, Episode 19: (DoUC) Department of Unusual Certainties

Department of Unusual Certainties is a Toronto-based research and design collective working at the interstices of urban design, planning, public art, spatial research and mapping. DoUC operate under the mandate of expanding our conception of what urban design is and what it can achieve.

The Department’s work is informed by one guiding philosophy – that the city is the physical manifestation of a long sequence of unusual certainties, each one simultaneously more unusual and yet more certain than its predecessor. The Department publishes, lectures, teaches, and exhibits often. DoUC is also currently the Innovator in Residence at the Design Exchange – Canada’s National Design Museum.
