SUNDAY, AUGUST 16, 2026 Selva Espiral (Daniel Reyes Llinás & César Quevedo Barrero) + We are pleased to be back at High Line Brewing after a few months away. Stay tuned for details and dates for the rest of the year! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Selva Espiral, the duo of Daniel Reyes Llinás and César Quevedo Barrero, explores a unique musical language called “paleo-futurismo”, which draws from ancestral, indigenous, and pre-Hispanic musical traditions while integrating modern experimental guitar techniques and textures. The music of Selva Espiral is inspired by the legacy of Ernesto "Teto" Ocampo, a Colombian composer and guitarist known for fusing Andean, Caribbean, and indigenous Colombian music with avant-garde and minimalist approaches. Teto’s influence can be heard in the rhythmic structures, modal colors, and spiritual undercurrents of Selva Espiral’s work. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Drummer Eric Hamelin is a maestro of percussive insanity, one of the city's finest practitioners of uniquely personal expressions of sound. He's been playing the Bug Incision stage since day one, notably with acts such as Eating Speed (with Jonathon Wilcke and Rob Oxoby), Cryingsnice (with Chris Dadge), Used Carl (with Jay Crocker and Jeff MacGregor), violinist extraordinaire Josh Zubot, and nomoreshapes, with ex-Calgarian Jay Crocker. He also holds down the drum chair in Ghostkeeper, and previously did the same for Sleepkit and Chad Van Gaalen. He will be joined on this evening by a special guest, to be announced very soon. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Eric Svilpis is a multi-faceted and crucial part of Calgary's musical ecosystem. From the stage and his own Evius Studios, he's incredibly active, with recent collaborative highlights including Sub//Cell, Flowshine, Trevor Petty, Sean Hamilton & The Amber Hour, and Ghost Factory. He'll be performing under the Cytokinesis moniker on this occasion, and we were happily reminded that while he's been releasing music under that name since 2003, his first time performing it live was in November of 2015 at a Bug Incision show at Emmedia in their old location downtown. The project can take on quite a broad range of sonic personalities, but on this occasion, Svlipis reports, "this performance will be an exploration of the grieving process, using a prepared guitar and reflecting on quotes from songs of a personal significance looping into one another." Not to be missed! + in-between set music by DJ Jeremy Curry |
