“complex, orchestrated music, complete with unusual time signatures, backed by the stellar Confabulation...
There’s a lot to absorb, but the melodies get embedded in your head.” - Penguin Eggs magazine review of the Confabulation CD.

We're the Porcupine Award Winners for 2011 in the Oliver Schroer Off Beat category - see here!

Confab’ul/ate, v.i.
  1: engage in conversation: talk.
  2: fabricate imaginary experiences as compensation
       for loss of memory...

    It’s all about interplay - musical conversations and
fabrications from an imaginary coffeehouse late one
night in a distant past, or an imminent future...

    Featuring David Woodhead’s fanciful instrumentals,
powerful Oliver Schroer tunes, ukulele excursions
and fearless improvisation.,. with occasional Lord
Buckley rants and Neruda poems.

    Some long-term musical relationships and some brand new.
The Confabulation is a unique collaboration of adventurous
performance veterans with like-minded stellar young players.


We're on the  CBC radio 3  site.
