Montreal sound artist/improviser Erin Sexton is excited by limitation, pulling apart and stripping down any process she encounters, often arriving at the opposite extreme. Breadboards, oscillators, amplified surfaces, a tangle of wires intercepting electromagnetic waves… through these raw materials she invokes an experience both embodied and sublime, moving through immediacy into the beyond. Her latest double CD release ‘horizon’ (2011, les encodage de l’oubli) features a solo album and a series of duos with prominent Quebec sound artists Magali Babin, Martin Tétreault, Érick d’Orion, and Hélène Prévost. The last 7 years have contained many collaborations, performances, and video works, reaching back to her first solo album ‘aircraft’ (2004, independent).
