Fringe ArtsPhantom Rhythms
A “phantogram” is an optical illusion in which a two-dimensional image appears to enter our realm in the third. It should come as little surprise, then, that a band by the same name creates experimental genre-blending music that reaches far beyond the sum of its parts.

Fringe ArtsTalking Dirty

What do you get when you cross serious critical theory with video games?

Fringe ArtsTo Drink and Sing on the Breadline
A creaky wooden hall in the middle of nowhere with the bitter cold creeping in through every crack sounds better suited for the setting of a horror movie than a place to make a record.

Fringe ArtsSmelling is Believing
For humans, our not-so-keen sense of smell is often overlooked in favour of the more popular senses—seeing a red-and-purple-splashed sunset, or hearing a complex, brilliant symphony.
