Brady Allard (Winnipeg, MB)
Brady Allard is a Métis composer and audio installation artist from Winnipeg, Manitoba. With influences spanning electronic music, composition, and experimental sound design, Brady creates immersive sonic environments that challenge music conventions.
A lifelong musician and synthesizer enthusiast, Brady earned a Bachelor of Music in Jazz from Brandon University in 2011, where he discovered electro-acoustic composition. Since then, he has embarked on a career as an audio installation artist, focusing on immersive installations that explore the relationships between sound, space, and perception.
Brady’s art is a tool for social commentary and critique of capitalist structures. His compositions incorporate class analysis and expose the ways in which power relations affect individuals and communities. Through his installations, Brady challenges his audiences to engage with sound as a means of exploring complex themes and ideas, using his art as a platform for meaningful dialogue and exploration.
Brady’s compositions often incorporate field recordings, found sounds, generative algorithms, and custom-built instruments, revealing unique sonic textures and resonances. His work is a testament to his commitment to using his art as a means of effecting social change, and inspiring the exploration of what is possible through sound.
L’Alien (Erickson/Winnipeg)
L’Alien is a new highly melodic collaboration between Leila Kristianson (trumpet) and Iain Edye (synths, drum machines), who met when they performed in different projects at Brandon’s Drone Day event in 2022. Incorporating ambient soundscapes and drones, downtempo grooves, and occasional forays into Celtic fiddle tunes, their inaugural performance at the Prairie Wires’ Summer Sound Series will be a continuous semi-improvised journey of music, playing off each other in the spirit of spontaneity, exploration, and fun.
Hailing from Erickson, Iain Edye is a drummer, synthesist, songwriter, and vocalist-in-the-car, whose other current projects include the classic rock stylings of Route Ten Collective and his original synthpop solo project, acidbasement.
Currently residing in Winnipeg, Leila Kristianson is a multi-instrumentalist with a focus on trumpet. She holds a Bachelor’s in jazz trumpet performance from Brandon University School of Music, and currently teaches trumpet, as well as jazz and theory concepts at middle and high school levels. She performs in several bands and multiple genres, and also works as a freelance musician.
Koda Maxon (Brandon)
Koda Maxon (they/them) is a vibrant Canadian Vocalist, Artist and Composer based out of Brandon, Manitoba. Their compositional works focus on contemporary techniques and the use of multimedia to explore topics of identity, nature, and connectivity. Koda’s goal as a composer is to explore the art of sound through the creation of sonic works that allow the listener to open up, think deeply, and see the world from a different perspective. They find inspiration in topics of intense emotions, their relationship to nature, spirituality and queer Identity.
