To create Crickets (2012-2013), Thomson collaborated with composer Michael Webster to transcribe field recordings of crickets from around the world into a musical score. Subsequently developed for solo performers - individual musicians scattered around a park, each simulating the sound of a single cricket with a different instrument. This evening performance is concurrent with the opening of the exhibition. In partnership with Vancouver New Music. Mark McGregor (Piccolo), Françoise Houle (Clarinet), Llowyn Ball (violin) and Martin Fisk (Percussion).
