Robin Hatch (10 pm)
This binaural ambient synth set was supposed to take place at the University of Toronto for their New Circadia exhibition. “The goal is an hour-long synth set that tries to soothe, make you relax and fall asleep rather than get up and dance,” Hatch says. “It’s an experimental set based around different delta wave sounds and microtonal scales. I’ve also been using Twitch in general as a performance space, I enjoy it a lot more than playing live!”
