Watch Mirth & Madness: A Portrait of the Woodchopper's Association Online | Vimeo On Demand

The Woodchopper's Association are a home for musicians of all skill levels to come together and improvise music 'with love and joy in our hearts.'  Since the early 90's, over a thousand people have played in the band - from renowned recording artists like Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip, Peaches and Feist to students and neighbours. The Woodchopper's Association is led by drummer Dave Clark, who has devised an ingenious system of hand signals to facilitate 'instant composition.'  This short film finds the band in the studio with Cuban pianist Glenda Del Monte, where Dave discusses his influences and philosophy of music.   Directed by Nick Taylor. Produced with ICASP (Improvisation, Community and Social Practice) at the University of Guelph.
