bio
- Alex Ookpik is a Montréaler who writes, performs and produces avant-pop music, electroacoustic music, and music for theatre and film (now and then).
Her music bridges the worlds of pop and experimental music; taking in acoustic instruments, synthesis, field recordings, and studio manipulations.
Her electroacoustic piece "Rust" was featured in the Vermillion mix of Vox Novus's 60x60 and was presented in Montreal, NYC (ICMC 2010), Berlin, and Italy.
Her work for theatre and film includes the original score and sound design for Praxis Theatre's 2009 stage adaptation of Camus’s “L’Etranger”--"Stranger", as well as music the films “The Independents” and “Stand Sentry”.
She was co-founder, co-songwriter, and lead-singer for the Montreal post-rock band Marlowe; sharing the stage with Tindersticks, Snowpony (ex-My Bloody Valentine & Stereolab), April March, The Dears, Feist, and The Besnard Lakes.
Her first solo album is forthcoming. You can preview tracks here: http://soundcloud.com/alexookpik
