Experimental & Electronic

This room is dedicated to the sonic explorers—the boundary-pushers, tape-splicers, synth-builders, and sound manipulators who redefined what music could be. Experimental & Electronic showcases Canadian artists who ventured beyond the conventional, creating new textures, structures, and soundscapes through innovation and imagination. From early electroacoustic pioneers to modular tinkerers and ambient architects, this is the wild frontier of Canadian sound. Strange, beautiful, and endlessly inventive.
