SUMMARY:Sound Like Light 2026
DESCRIPTION:Returning to Lights On the Exchange is the second edition of Sound Like Light\, the festival’s signature live event\, where music\, sound\, and light collide. \n– BUY YOUR TICKETS HERE – \nThis year we’re taking over Manitoba Centennial Concert Hall’s Sound Bites Room for an immersive evening of pulsating beats\, live sound art\, musical performance\, and dynamic DJ sets\, augmented by live digital projections by festival curators Manufacturing Entertainment. \nThe evening will be anchored by music selections from a roster of DJs\, featuring Wanda G\, DJ $uraj\, and DJ Hunnicutt\, and will feature live performances by Compost (MB) and Colby Richardson (ON). \n\nCompost is nutrient rich music for a healthy body and mind. It’s the grit and grind of deep bass and decomposing blown up beats from which flowery keyboards blossom. The instrumental trio\, composed of Julian Beutel\, Eric Roberts and Justin Alcock\, references ’90s beatmakers and European electronic music\, cycling between movement and meditation. \n\nColby Richardson is a media artist\, experimental filmmaker\, and sound artist currently based in Toronto\, Ontario. He’ll be closing out the evening with Dimmer Switch\, a performance for sound and light that takes advantage of the inability of compact fluorescent light bulbs to properly dim. Exposed guitar cables are placed near and in between the bulb’s flickering coils to transform the electrical bursts into a range of percussive and piercing sounds. \nThis event is ages 18+\nDon’t miss an unforgettable collision of light\, sound\, and movement. \n– BUY YOUR TICKETS HERE – TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS –

SUMMARY:In the Shadow Beyond the Pines
DESCRIPTION:“Out here\, freaking out can get you killed. You just need to have faith. And besides\, this fire is sacred. It’ll keep us safe” – George \nSet in modern times but steeped in a dark and haunting past\, this atmospheric ghost story explores the shadows of Indigenous life and lore with a hint of humour. \nAmid the mysteries of the vast wilderness of northern Manitoba\, three young men wrestle with the loss of their friend by reclaiming the cultural practice of lighting a sacred fire. When they realize they’ve forgotten the flashlight and their phones have died\, legends and memories are all they have to guide them through the night. Created in the Pimootayowin Creators Circle\, this world premiere will draw you in while making no promises of letting you go.
