I am an art critic, radio journalism, independant curator and musician. I play turntable, handles vinyl records, and records soundscapes. I have performed in Canada, the US and France ; additionally, my works have been presented in England, Germany, Palestine, Portugal and Danemark. Improvisation allows me to create raw, non-linear music peppered with altered sonic quotes and abstracted sounds, textures mostly produced by vinyls that have undergone specific alterations (grinding, cutting, etc.). I am a member of the turntable trio Vinyl Interventions with Carrie Gates (Saskatoon) and Marinko Jareb (St. Catherines, Ontario). This outfit has been presenting its eponymous workshop since 2002. I also organize concert series devoted to improvised music for acoustic instruments. a_dontigny, Gordon Allen, Olivier Borzeix, Isaiah Ceccarelli, Adam Kinner, Léon Lo, Philippe Lauzier, Erin Sexton, Martin Tétreault and David Turgeon are some of the musicians I like working with. In 2009 I got my first composition commission from L'Ensemble Supermusique of Montreal. I am a member of CKUT radio, Montreal and had been an active member of RADIA.
These days I do radio art pieces based on field recordings.

Alex Ookpik was a Montréaler writing, performing and producing avant-pop and electroacoustic music (Dec.7th, 1975 - Nov.24th, 2016). Her first album MegaFauna is here on bandcamp : https://alexookpik.bandcamp.com/releases     It has been released digitally and as a limited edition cd. One hundred percent of the proceeds go directly to the Alexandra Olsen Memorial Bursary at Concordia University for a female electroacoustic / electronic music composer. Her second album will be release in 2018. Thanks so much for supporting her musical legacy !

Her music bridges the worlds of pop and experimental music; taking in acoustic instruments, synthesis, field recordings, and studio manipulations.

Former lead-singer and keyboard player of the Montreal post-rock band Marlowe (1995-2005); releasing two albums and sharing the stage with Tindersticks, Snowpony (ex-My Bloody Valentine & Stereolab), April March, The Dears, Feist, and The Besnard Lakes, among others.

She has participated in many different side projects and collaborations over the years: electroacoustic composition (60x60), music and sound design for theatre and short films, producing other artists, and tracks for special projects like OraMIX (Daphne Oram tribute) and BCM (Bedroom Cassette Masters), and a mixtape for Steven Hall's Mitamine Lab. She has also had the honour of being remixed by various artists from around the world, notably: Quivion, Soft Enerji, and Grimes Adhesif. Some of these projects can be found here on SoundCloud, with details on:  <a href="http://www.alexookpik.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">
