"Sounds Like Things Ensemble"Sounds Like Things Ensemble or SLTE (2020) is an interdisciplinary improv and collaborative brainchild of percussionist Andrew Stauffer, wherein artists explore the essences of inanimate objects through sound to create journeys steeped in ambiance, mood, and texture to the tune of looped found object-percussion, cello, and voice.
SLTE performed at Living Things Festival in 2020, and Stauffer created the re-imagined "jam" session |

"It all started last summer when a busker, Leila Neverland, came into the Festivals Kelowna office asking if we would consider looking at hosting a street piano program in Kelowna. The reality was that we were in our event season so we didn't have the time to look into it but she took it upon herself to research what it would take to create such a program in Kelowna."
