Imagine yourself beside the pond in the beautiful evening air at Memorial University's  Botanical Garden. Listen for vocal sounds wafting across the waters evoking images of wind, waves, and wildlife as Octatonic Decadence Ensemble sings lullabies to the forest from kayaks on the water. You can also enjoy the stillness as well as the susurrations of the natural accompaniments of the birds, insects and trees as they respond to the music of the two-legged kayakers.

 Octatonic Decadence Ensemble is locally assembled by David Buley, and the group’s membership fluctuates as required according to the voices needed for the wide array of music the group performs. Octatonic Decadence's repertoire spans thirteen centuries and represents exquisite examples of music for multiple voices by an eclectic array of composers such as R. Murray Schafer, Arvo Pärt, John Tavener, Reena Esmail, William Byrd, Thomas Tallis, Cristóbal Morales, Christine Donkin, Kathleen Allan, Herbert Howells, and Sherryl Sewepagaham. The group strives for a clear, blended sound with nuance of expression and beauty.  www.octadec.ca
