Chris Twomey
Music Journalist, Broadcaster, DJ
Music Journalist, broadcaster, DJ Chris Twomey is a graduate of the Radio & Television Arts program at Ryerson, and was a Music Director and Assistant Program Director at their student station CKLN. Later he was a programmer for University of Toronto's CIUT and on-line stations Virtually Canadian and 1Groove.com. Twomey has written about a wide range of music for many newspapers and magazines including Musicworks, and was one of the contributors to Art Metropole's anthology Sound By Artists. Among his many highlights as a DJ was the first performance of his experimental Drone Mix at the record-setting concert atop the CN Tower by the British rock band Spritualized in 1997.
Twomey's Drone Mix performances utilize four channels of vinyl and CD sound sources. Inspired by the techno and chill out DJ movement but working with experimental material Twomey sets up a drone environment with frequencies from low to high. He has done this evolving performance at concerts by Panasonic and Spiritualized; and at a Wabi collective event. Twomey will be among the performers at the Musicworks benefit on May 2nd.
