"Alexandra Spence is a sound artist / musician from Sydney, Australia. She makes music performances, compositions, improvisations, and sound installations.

Alex is interested in the idea of listening as an active practice. She is inspired by everyday sound, and how our individual notions of place and identity are shaped and mediated through these sounds. She considers the intricate relationships between the listener, the object, and the surrounding environment to be a kind of communion or conversation. Her work favours small sounds, hidden sonic processes, subtlety, quietude and unusual sound sources.(she also holds the pseudo-scientific belief that electricity might actually be magic)

Alex has performed and presented work in concerts, festivals, symposiums and galleries in Australia, Canada, and Europe, including the Vancouver Art Gallery, CA; Destroy Vancouver, CA; Toronto International Electroacoustic Symposium, CA; the Engineroom International Sound Art Competition, UK; the Women In Sound/Women On Sound forum: Educating Girls in Sound, Lancaster, UK; the FKL Symposium, Besenello, IT; the NOW Now Festival, Sydney, AU; Vivid Festival, Sydney, AU; Gaffa Gallery, Sydney, AU. In collaboration with artist Katrina Stamatopoulos, Alex has presented work at Is This Art? dLux Media Arts, Sydney, AU and Festival Images Contre Nature, Marseille, FR. Alongside Rebecca Bruton she is the co-curator of Tidal~Signal Festival, which operates from a core set of anticolonial feminist ethics, and seeks to disrupt patterns of gender disparity in music programming of all genres, it currently takes place in Vancouver, CA. In 2016 Alex graduated from the Master of Fine Arts interdisciplinary arts program at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada. In 2017 she was awarded the Freedman Foundation Travelling Scholarship for Emerging Artists, which will enable her to study with David Toop and Chris Watson in the UK in 2018."

"Tim Clément began composing music in the late 1970's with a conviction that the music with which we surround ourselves acts as a conditioning agent, having profound effects on our physical, emotional and spiritual lives. His innovative manipulation of minimalist techniques and field recordings attracted forward-thinking record companies and resulted in the release of ten international records, four of which were in collaboration with friend and colleague Mychael Danna. Internationally recognized as the duo, Danna & Clément, these collective works established their distinctive "Canadiana" sound, coined as "Romantic Minimalism".

These early experiences provided Clément with essential skills for composing, recording and sound production. This resulted in a five-year position as Composer-In-Residence at Toronto's McLaughlin Planetarium from 1990-1995.

Much of Tim's youth was spent in Northen Quebec, where he as a Métis citizen he first conceived of using music as an environment. At the age of 24, this conviction motivated him to spend five years living in the Northern Ontario wilderness to observe and record natural soundscapes. Fundamental to his development as a composer, this intimate connection with the land is woven throughout Clément's compositions.

During his residency at the planetarium, Clément had the opportunity to research and implement varied strategies to record and reproduce omni-directional sound scenes. These strategies were also applied to live productions and sound installations.

The pursuit to produce the most evocative sonic experiences has always been fundamental to his work. New advances in immersive audio technology are rapidly making this vision a reality. 3D, 4D, ambisonics and binaural sound are used to augment the perception of size, space and distance, thereby enhancing the perception of motion that glues a visual scene together.

While maintaining a passion for immersive sound, Clément often incorporates exotic instrumentation from the vast spectrum of global indigenous music, particularly where more than one cultural tradition intermingle.

Throughout his professional career Clément has worked on over 25 projects and commissions, including composition and sound design for music for film, television, theatre, dance, domed theatres, video and sound installation.

Tim has worked and recorded with many of Canada's most prominent and talented musicians, including: Kim Deschamps, Mary Margaret O'Hara, Oliver Schroer, Anne Bourne, Ron Korb, Al Cross, Patrick O'Gorman, John Johnson, Colin Cripps, Anne Lindsay, Tara McLean, Paul Inston, Mark Shannon, Ron Allen, Michael Uytebroek, Lee Whalen and Tom Wilson.

Tim Clément is now considered one of the most original and innovative voices in contemporary music.

Currently, Tim is residing in Toronto, and composing new music for an album slated for release in late 2016 - with Mychael Danna (Oscar winner, Life of Pi, 2013)."
