Midi Janitor
Using only a scavenged MIDI keyboard and sounds plundered from a wide swath of archaic media (90’s sampler CDs, 80s VHS docs, 70s student films), musician Jonathan Orr creates startlingly accomplished slabs of thick, lo-fi electro that shimmer and pounce like nothing else on the Vancouver scene.

Playback Head
Since migrating to Canada in 2008, Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Alexandre Klinke has remained largely focused on the traditions of his home country, making music that blends folk rhythms with rock, pop, and electronic elements. Thirteen years later, the scope of his practice has expanded to include original soundtracks, field recordings, and sound & video art. With the birth of his two sons, his Canadian roots have grown deeper, and a new approach to music making has appeared - this time privileging timbre and sonic texture over melodic and harmonic development. Still utilizing his traditional instruments (piano, acoustic guitar, cavaquinho, viola caipira), Klinke began recording a series of minimal improvisations onto magnetic tape (both reel-to-reel and cassette) in late 2020. The sounds of the artist's home surroundings (birds outside the window, his children playing) seep continuously into the mix, as well as field recordings taken in his travels in Canada and Brazil.

Dove Magic
Lorri Rae Clark is a multidisciplinary artist and sound practitioner creating immersive sonic experiences through crystal singing bowls, vocals and synthesized tones. Her music serves as a meditative journey—one that blurs the boundaries between body, space, and sound Through intuition and energetic sensitivity, Lorri’s compositions act as portals to altered states of perception. Layered frequencies, drones, and harmonic overtones invite listeners into a deep state of presence, where inner landscapes expand and time begins to dissolve. Whether performed live or experienced in a spatialized audio environment, her work is designed to hold space for personal transformation, collective stillness and connection beyond the physical.

Sean Evans
Sean Evans is a Composer and Sound Design Artist based out of Vancouver, B.C. While he loves to make all types of music, his current practice finds him working in long-form ambient and drone pieces. Sean is always looking for that trance-like state right before you’re about to doze off, and see how long he can ride that out through texture and repetition. Having released music on Canadian labels Deep Sea Mining Syndicate and Hotham Sound, his latest release ‘Movements’ is currently in stores and online.
