About Me

Avi Granite, a one time “pots and pans” genius turned improvising restructuralist composer, guitarist and producer works out of “the bunker” located in the east end of Toronto. Highly influenced by all things aural, the giant blender housed by said bunker offers a splendor of sonic output ranging from neo-jazz via the Avi Granite:6 (who will be releasing a new CD on Pet Mantis Records in September 2007) to faux beat and sample based mayhem through Vitamin P (debut CD coming 2008). Also involved in 8-bit explorations with Viewfinder (debut CD fall 2007) and the electronica influenced trio Nautilus (2nd CD in the works) Granite still finds time to carve out new works for a range of projects from independent film scores to a book of new music for an unnamed and so far unperformed 11 piece ensemble crafted during and inspired by a recent ascent to the mountains of Banff.

deep in the mountains

deep in the mountains of Banff i have a hut.  a sanctuary of artistic lust and triumph.  there are many huts, but it is mine.  the spirits in these mountains are fucking with my dreams....
