About

 

Debbie Doe is an electronic musician, 3D sound designer. Pursuing studies in electroacoustic's at Concordia University, they are inspired by theater and the concept of play, their music takes on different roles, where spacious percussions meet unusual samples. In perpetual search of new creative methods and techniques, they are developing with certainty an approach to musical composition in which sound in space and its movement play a central role. They use different techniques of sampling inspired by the work of John Cage and others to create a hypnotizing atmosphere ensuring that its experimental sounds play different roles, especially for theater and performance. They developed astute techniques for sampling cassette tapes and analog gear to craft their atmospheric tracks and live sets.
