ATLANTIC STRING MACHINE

The Atlantic String Machine was formed in April 2015 and is based on Prince Edward Island. The group is made up of five musicians with considerable experience in a number of musical genres, having performed worldwide with internationally recognized symphony and chamber orchestras, ensembles, bands and individual artists. They have recently joined together to present a wide range of music from classical to jazz, pop, world music and their own compositions.

Since inception, the Atlantic String Machine have performed numerous concerts across PEI and into the Canadian Maritime provinces. The first year’s feature performances included collaborations with well-known Newfoundland jazz guitarist Duane Andrews, Charlottetown’s dynamic vocal ensemble Sirens and clarinetist Dr. Karem Simon, as part of the UPEI Recital Series. Since then, ASM has produced its own concert series in both 2015-16 and 2016-17, has collaborated with several Island musicians, including pop group Paper Lions, singer songwriters Nathan Wiley and Kelley Mooney, and has performed concerts with Atlantic musicians such as The Once and Matthew Byrne in the 2016 Indian River Festival and the PEI Mutual Festival of Small Halls. The 2016-17 'Passport Series' of concerts has featured music of Russia, France, and Italy and the United Kingdom, and summer 2017 includes collaborations with JUNO award winning singer songwriter James Keelaghan, PEI musician Nick Doneff and performances at the 2017 Indian River Festival and the Victoria Playhouse.

In 2016, having been awarded a creation and production grant from the Arts Council of Prince Edward Island, the ASM recorded their debut CD, ‘Lost Time’ with the assistance of John D.S. Adams of Stonehouse Sound. The CD, released in September 2016, includes the eclectic mix of repertoire for which the ASM has become known. 'Lost Time' was nominated for a 2017 East Coast Music Award for best classical album, as well as the title composition being nominated with its composer Sean Kemp for best classical composition. The Atlantic String Machine was nominated for and won the 2016 and 2017 Music PEI awards for Achievement in Classical or Jazz, and was also nominated for Group Recording of the Year and New Artist of the Year.
