Let me introduce you to Vancouver-based musician Canzino, who has been captivating audiences since 2014 with his unique blend of live looping, DJing, and electronic-infused rock. Combining improvisation with technology, he creates dynamic performances that blur the lines between genres.
Canzino’s musical journey was born out of necessity, emerging from a period of personal reflection. He shares,
“I kind of didn’t want to play music anymore for a bit, and then realized I needed to keep on playing music as a mental health thing.”
This realization led to the creation of his project, which he continues to develop and perform.
Over the years, Canzino has focused on refining his live setup to enhance his performances. He explains,
“Probably favourite thing I’ve ever done with the project was to try and improve my audio setup and make it more dialled in, simpler to set up whenever I perform.”
This streamlined approach allows for a more efficient and engaging live experience.
Currently, Canzino is expanding his musical horizons through collaborations with fellow artists. He mentions working with PerchedLeopard on the track “Ranger Signal” and exploring new creative processes.
“I’m learning to write songs backwards… just performing random songs live and then trying to just record it after the fact,”
This innovative approach keeps his music fresh and exciting.
Fans can look forward to Canzino’s upcoming shows, including performances at the Altitude Festival in Boston Bar and at Portside Pub in Vancouver. Additionally, he’s set to DJ at Space Toast at the Waldorf on July 12th, promising an unforgettable experience for attendees.
Canzino’s dedication to his craft and willingness to innovate make him a standout figure in Vancouver’s music scene. His journey reflects the power of music as a personal and communal experience.
