About Sara Gold

Sara Gold is a multidisciplinary artist exploring the boundaries of sound through experimental music and sound art. Utilizing repetition, drones, and low frequencies generated with vintage analog electronics and processed in Ableton Live, Gold seeks to evoke new sensations and altered brain states. Through a disabled/queer/non-binary lens, their practice encompasses immersive live performances, conceptual audio-visual experiences, and community gatherings, fostering a rich dialogue around sound and perception.

x/o is Veron Xio (they/them); a Vietnamese-Canadian electronic music producer and multidisciplinary artist based in Vancouver. Interested in disrupting gender binaries and transgressing codes of identity, x/o uses hyper-masculine and hyper-feminine sonic tropes to build new worlds; an audiovisual exploration of duality and cyclical emotions.

They have presented work internationally, including Phoenix Central Park (Sydney), Palais de Tokyo (Paris), Institute of Contemporary Arts (London), La Casa Encendida (Madrid), and House of Electronic Arts (Basel). In 2019, they were selected for the MUTEK Amplify residency at Somerset House Studios UK and Red Bull Bass Camp Calgary at the National Music Centre.
