Civvie is an experimental trio improvising on amplified bassoon (Alex Eastley), cello (Natanielle Felicitas), and weaving loom (Kelly Ruth).

Based in Winnipeg, Civvie creates arresting soundscapes using extended techniques and digital effects, stretching the sonic possibilities of their instruments. The percussive sounds of the weaving loom are layered, its incidental cadence suggesting the pulse of an increasingly industrialized world. The bassoon and cello respond to the woven rhythms in a haunting dialogue, both concerned and hopeful for the future that unfolds. Drawn to the variability of spontaneous compositions, the trio's musical conversations evoke a natural world besieged by human progress.
