Imaginary Percussion Ensemble is the brainchild of gifted Toronto percussionist and composer Germaine Liu, and features two of the city's other foremost sonic imaginations, Joe Sorbara and Mark Zurawinski. The ensemble’s music is rooted in a deep concern for gesture, for physicality, for tactility—invested in performance as visceral exploration and co-creation, performance as an ongoing process of (re)discovering ideas and vocabulary; always in the hope of creating an inviting and inclusive space for audience and participants. Tom Beedham of Exclaim! touted their set at the 2017 X-Avant Festival as "an evening highlight," adding that their work "repeatedly challenged any academy-set definitions of just what constitutes an instrument or a musical practice."
