Ambient & electronica music blog, mix series, record label and radio station. Est. 2008.

Edward Enman is a classical pianist and composer whose original musical style has been shaped by the lush lyricism of Sigur Rós and the rhythmic drive of John Adams, while taking on a powerful warmth all its own. His inventive voice draws from storytelling, cinema, and visual art, while incorporating electronic elements and style-blurring writing.

As a recording artist, performer, and creator, Edward strives to create meaningful connections with listeners while breaking down stylistic barriers in the classical music world. He holds an enthusiasm for compelling programming and enjoys combining the old with the new.

Edward’s first full-length albums of original music Breathe In, Breathe Out (2022), and Insights (2023) have each been nominated for Classical Album/Composer of the Year from the East Coast Music Awards and the Nova Scotia Music Awards. His newest 2023 release Insights features Edward as pianist and composer in a 12-part work for solo piano.

As a soloist and collaborative performer, he performs regularly across Canada, and his compositions have been premiered and performed around the world. Edward was pianist and arranger on the 2023 album Je me souviens à toi with singer Rose Naggar-Tremblay and bassist Gabriel Lapointe. In 2024-2025, he will be releasing two solo albums: WE ARE HERE, and Silver Light: Fantasies on Poems by Sara Teasdale while also being featured as a contributing composer on rap artist Quinton Barnes’ new recording project.

Dr. Enman holds degrees in solo piano performance from the University of Montréal (DMus), University of Ottawa (MMus), and Acadia University (BM). He is a part-time instructor at Acadia University, a vocal coach at the Fountain School of Performing Arts, and a teacher on faculty at the Scotia Suzuki School of Music in Halifax, Nova Scotia where he lives with his family.
