Sandro Nicolussi is a musician shaped by his prolific work as a media artist, cultural worker, label operator and music journalist. Nicolussi’s approach is self-taught, transdisciplinary and firmly rooted in the DIY environment of local and international noise scenes. His compositions are created in a process-oriented, playful and collaborative context. Due to his strong community orientation, Nicolussi strives for peer production and anti-gatekeeping.

To encapsulate the career of Montreal-based harpist Sarah Pagé, one would have to draw long, constellation-like shapes across genres, borders and histories. While perhaps best known as a founding and longtime member of roots rockers The Barr Brothers, a brief consideration of her resume reveals the fact that she’s equally at home within traditions as without them. Her first two solo LPs, Dose Curves and Voda, affirm this versatility and reveal Pagé as one of Canada’s most accomplished experimentalists.
