Strings & Spirits: RENDER FILE & MARK SPARLING score A SHORT HIKE

Canadian Music Centre

A six-piece improvisational band scores the indie game A Short Hike live with the game's composer & developer in the room. One night only!

One night. One room. One playthrough, scored live. Render File is a Toronto improvising ensemble that plays video games the way a jazz band plays a standard: live, once, and never quite the same way twice. On August 24, they take over the CMC to score A Short Hike with the game played live on the screen, and the music invented in real time to match every glide, climb, and quiet moment on the mountain.The people who made the game are in the room. A Short Hike's composer Mark Sparling will be performing and developer Adam Robinson-Yu will be there in person, giving a sneak peak at upcoming projects! Plus: there will be a rare, numbered copy of the first pressing of the A Short Hike vinyl soundtrack from Stumpy Frog Records up for raffle! The game, the music, and the makers in one room, with surprises in store and beverages on tap to celebrate one of our favorite games!Pay what you want: Name your price when you reserve (around $20 is a lovely gesture), or pay $0 now to simply hold a seat, and at the show, give whatever feels right. Every dollar goes straight back into putting on nights like this. Seats are genuinely limited, when it's full, it's full.
