Noah Sherrin
Noah Sherrin is a composer and sound artist from a small island on the west coast of Canada, now based in Montréal (Tiohti:áke, Mooniyang). His work spans music and sound design for linear and interactive media, experimental music releases, site-specific sound installations, digital lutherie, and location-based recording projects.
His music (as Noah Rosa) transports the listener into an uncanny world, both ancient and futuristic. Exploring themes of environmental devastation and nebulous spirituality, sound sources are filtered through a prismatic lens of digital erosion, appearing on the other side worn and murky as if emerging from a primeval bed of fungus and algae. Recent releases include Drawing a circle (Coffin Texts, 2022) and The radiant tower (Reset Networks, 2021). He is currently working on a web-based immersive installation titled The two headed dragon of forgiveness.

Fili 周 Gibbons
Fili 周 Gibbons (we/they/them) are a musician and sound engineer of mixed Chinese and Canadian ancestry based in Tiohtià:ke / Montreal. Their artistic practice is a synthesis of cello performance, audio creation, embodiment, and traditional memory systems — employing these as potencies for the expression of plural identities, and the transmission of cultural memory.
Drawing from many years of practice in cello performance, improvisation and audio production, they frequently collaborate across genres with artists from Canada and abroad (Devon Bate, Paloma Dawkins, Yaya Diallo, Rajni Shah). Deepening their connection to sound further through recording studies (M. Mus, McGill University), they founded the audiovisual production company Studio Apothicaire in 2018, and continue to explore audio practice through a blend of professional projects, interdisciplinary collaborations, and community-oriented sound projects.

Hailey Guzik
Hailey Guzik (They/She) is a visual artist working in Tio’tia:ke / Mooniyang / Montréal, QC. Their work expands painting into three-dimensional media and new technologies including video, audiovisual performance, virtual reality, and installation. Interrogating painting from a post-natural perspective, their practice considers the cultural and ecological impacts of perception on the natural and built environment. Rooted in eco-feminism and phenomenology and drawing on histories of plein air and nature painting, they seek to challenge the idea of romanticized nature through ecological and technological frameworks. By engaging site-specific research through the technological expansion of plein air practice, personal and shared experiences of landscape seen through repeated acts of surveying and sampling become thecatalyst for investigating how physical, conceptual, and technological boundaries of home, place, memory, and identity manifest within systems of capitalism, colonization, industrialization, and the climate crisis.
