Description

Elori Saxl is an American experimental electronic composer. She has composed music for classical ensembles, PBS, The Guggenheim, The National Film Board of Canada, Burton, Patagonia, Google, Poler, Dove, the New Yorker, This American Life, Public Radio International, SFMOMA, and more. She also works in film as a director and editor. Her film work has been nominated for two Emmys and been featured by the New Yorker, Vimeo Staff Picks, and festivals around the world. She has performed across the globe including recent dates opening for Colin Stetson on his 2022 North American tour, opening and performing with Emile Mosseri and Mary Lattimore in LA, Dripping Fest, WOS fest (Spain), Corsica, National Sawdust, Public Records, and more.

Her debut album ‘The Blue of Distance’ (2021) received critical acclaim for its elegant combination of digitally-processed recordings of wind and water with the rich sounds of analog synthesizers and chamber orchestra. The album was accompanied by four music videos, two self-directed by Saxl and two collaborations with Canadian choreographer and dance Emma Portner. The same year, she released the single ‘Moss II’ under Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith’s imprint Touch the Plants. Her music has been featured by Pitchfork, The New Yorker, WNYC New Sounds, BBC 3 Radio and more.

Her forthcoming mini-album ‘Drifts and Surfaces’, will be released 19th July via Western Vinyl. The three-piece set flourishes quietly in present-tense synthesis and originates from three different commissions, each influenced by her experience of living on Madeline Island, a small island in Lake Superior, and unified by shared themes that explore how technology has come to define our daily life: the blurring of physical and digital worlds, the compression and datafication of human experience, and the paradox of everyday stasis and constant change. Saxl continues to utilize chamber-music ensemble alongside analog synths and digital experimentation, deeply tuning into textural emotion.

‘Drifts and Surfaces’ offers a snapshot of an artist in constant evolution, absorbing life's impressions with mesmeric, visceral, and nearly tangible minimalist sound.
