Nathan Ivanco is a Hamilton based multidisciplinary artist whose work navigates the intersections of sound, memory, and the tactile qualities of analog media. Operating primarily under the moniker Shadow Pattern, Ivanco’s practice is characterized by a commitment to lo-fi aesthetics and a deliberate avoidance of mainstream promotional channels. His releases, often distributed through his own Hamilton Tapes label, are typically available in limited cassette editions, emphasizing a direct, community-oriented approach to art distribution. Through his work, Ivanco invites you into a world where the boundaries between sound and physicality blur, creating a space where the imperfections of analog media become a conduit for emotional and sensory engagement. His work stands as a testament to the power of minimalism and the profound impact of personal, handmade artistry in an increasingly digital world.

Thomas Toews is an electronic musician from Winnipeg, MB. His improvised drone performances are an exploration of feedback and harmony. Using samples to contextualize a sometimes unfamiliar soundscape, Thomas creates a sort of texture music that is both anxious and hopeful.
