Berlin Waltz

Devon More Music—The Asper Centre for Theatre & Film (U of W)

I saw Devon More’s first show a few years back and loved it. She was back the year after and we haven’t seen her again until now—and I’m so happy she’s back. Her first show was looping and overdubbing of simple sounds that ended with super songs. In her second outing, she weaved cosmic imagery into developing more assembled music.

This year, she incorporates a tale to go with the musical development. By no means is this a light theme, but More injects some entertaining and fun elements. There aren’t as many songs as in past since much of the time goes to the story arc. However, the tale adds another dimension to the presentation, and the songs that maturate through the oversampling sound as deliciously polished as they always have. Every time I see it, I marvel at how well More manages to create such great songs with such apparent ease.
