OSMAMTHUS
Starting as a one-off pairing for a small gallery show in 2019, the Calgary based duo of Laura Reid (violin) and Krzysztof Sujata (synthesizer and voice) quickly grew in activity, resulting in their 2024 debut album 'Between Seasons'. Combining Reid’s classical prowess and ear for melody and texture with Sujata’s electronic experience and penchant for paced improvisation and minimalism, they straddle the line between acoustic and electronic music, and accentuate how truly insignificant the distinction between the two worlds is.
JJL
Born and raised in a family of musicians in Beijing, JJL spent her young life marinating in her parents’ musical training and influences. As a young adult, she left her hometown (and parents’ watchful eye) in search of her true musical self. Her recent solo project is a continuation of her self-exploration and musical experimentation. With her flutes and electronics, JJL hopes to express her unique musical character through the meditative process of creating self-sustaining music in realtime.
