Kara-Lis Coverdale
With a heady mixture of electronic production and classical instrumentation, Kara-Lis Coverdale creates ethereal compositions that span past, present, and future. Her pipe organ has rung out from San Francisco to Berlin, and her multidisciplinary sonic experiments constantly pursue music’s restorative potential. Recent single “Daze” is a stunning introduction to her modular world of experimental sonic catharsis.
T. Gowdy
A Canadian producer with a career that spans the globe, T. Gowdy creates electronic soundscapes that swing from familiar ambience to intriguing experimentalism. He is credited with more than 70 album productions, including Ada Lea and SUUNS. His latest release, Trill Scan, melds medieval music with analogue electronics that probe the inner eye.
Idlefon
Hesam Ohadi (AKA Idlefon) is an Iranian Canadian computer musician and sound artist based in Calgary, Alberta. Their music explores ambient soundscapes with hints of intellectual dance music and glitch strewn throughout. A co-founder of the label BITROT and the festival SET Experimental Art Events, their 2015 release Submarine is a perfect example of their lushly created soundscapes.
