Nite Comfort: Carbolizer, Schema Factor
This episode brings us two veterans of the electronic music scene in Canada, Carbolizer and Schema Factor, for an intimate encounter at Nite Comfort!
Carbolizer (10pm) is the outsider electronic music project of L. Adam Fox, who has been releasing music under various monikers over the past decade. Drawing on a pool of synths, samples, and electronic sources that lean towards the darker spectrum of new wave, industrial and ambient music, Fox’s debut self-titled album as Carbolizer is the musical manifestation of his own existential anxieties of mortality, human and artificial intelligence, and a world on the brink of chaos. Fox gained critical notoriety with his previous project, Field Assembly, which explored the fringes of Americana and minimalist pop. His songs have been featured on CBC Radio 2, and his albums have charted nationally in Canada on campus/community radio. He has shared stages with notable artists like Destroyer, Great Lake Swimmers, Elevator to Hell, Wye Oak and more recently, Mount Kimbie. He has also worked with Siskiyou (Constellation Records) and scored a film for artist Alana Bartol’s In Blood and Bone (2016). Carbolizer’s self-titled record is due out in October of 2018 with a tour of Canada planned for the fall and European dates pending in 2019.

Schema Factor (9pm) is the musical moniker of Leif Bloomquist, a prolific electronic musician based in Toronto, Canada.
Computer-based sounds, samples, effects and music have been a lifelong interest, even since the days of the Commodore 64. Classically trained in clarinet and percussion, he now composes using sequencing software while incorporating eclectic and home-built hardware.
His material can be heard in such diverse environments as on CBC Radio 3, ambient music festivals, gothic nightclubs, and churches. Leif is a founding member of the Independent Electronic Musicians Collective, and has released six albums to date through his Schema Factor and Interweaver projects.
Join us for this episode in the ongoing search for genre-defying, boundary-pushing music and other hidden gems in the heart of the city. The 1st Sunday of each month, focusing on live eclectic, electronic, ambient, drowsy beats, loose bytes, droney feats, psychic lights, live visuals, noisy tangents, artful dodging.
