about

Pyschologist Hermann Roarshach invented the inkblot test to allow people to explore the hidden patterns of their unconscious minds through the interpretation of abstract images. This is what Roarshaq aims to do with their music. A result of four good friends who share a passion for making improvised music with one another, the group dedicates themselves to creating new and original works using the medium of jazz and creative music.

In 2013 Roarshaq was invited to partake in the 2013 Winter Residency at the Banff Centre for the Arts where the collective truly began to develop their sound. Later that year, the group was granted a Toronto Arts Council Project Grant to prepare and rehearse new repertoire to be recorded in the following months. Their self-titled debut album Roarshaq is the result of these intensive focus periods, recorded in February 2014.
