Tonight Aidan Baker will play live and talk about his music.
Aidan Baker is a classically-trained multi-instrumentalist using the electric guitar as his primary instrument.
Using prepared and alternate methods of playing the guitar, along with various electronic effects, Baker
creates music which generally falls within the ambient/experimental genre but draws on influences from
rock, electronic, classical, and jazz. A highly proli#c artist, Baker has released numerous recorded works,
both solo and with various group projects—most notably his dreamsludge duo project, Nadja—on such
independent labels as Gizeh Records, Important Records, Alien8 Recordings, and his own imprint, Broken
Spine Productions. Baker is also the author of several books of poetry. A regular live performer, Baker has
toured extensively around the world, including appearances at such international festivals as FIMAV,
SXSW, Incubate, Unsound, and Mutek, among others. Originally from Toronto, Canada, Baker currently
resides in Berlin, Germany.
