- Description: Mark Molnar has been a linchpin of the Ottawa experimental music scene for over two decades,spanning contemporary classical, electroacoustic, industrial/noise, and improv. As a string playerin a wide range of projects, an organizer and curator of innumerable shows, and via his own avantgarde tag Black Bough Records, Molnar's unflagging contributions to independent music culturein Canada's capital city have been significant.

Thisis exacting modern chamber music that blends formal and harmonic complexity with a solemnemotive sensibility accessible to a broad audience. Listeners that yearn for some edge anddisquietude in a landscape of often all-too-approachable post-classical music should find EXOeminently worth their time and attention.While Molnar is a highly trained string player, and studied music under Aubrey Wolfe, microtonalitywith James Tenney, and composition with R.
