Thor Harris (Solo Set)From an unforgettable appearance with experimental rock group Swans to leading his avant-garde project Thor & Friends, polymath creative Thor Harris is Sled Island legend (Slegend?). This year, Thor brings a solo set to Blue Sky City. Expect an enchanting miasma of minimalist compositions that loop piano and clarinet sounds into a hypnotic dream of audio bliss.
Jairus Sharif
Combining spontaneous composition, sound collage, and free improvisation, Black Canadian multi-instrumentalist, composer and sound artist Jairus Sharif creates a liberation technology used for healing and self-understanding. Live performances involving samples, spontaneous composition, and an evolving collection of electronics and traditional instrumentation, share a glimpse into his ongoing hermetic journey.
Nick Schofield
Canadian musician, producer and ambassador of ambient music, Nick Schofield has been dubbed a "dazzling electronic artist" by Aquarium Drunkard and a "synth maven" by Constellation Records. Nick’s latest album Blue Hour explores ambient jazz and features Scott Bevins on trumpet – perfect for fans of Miles Davis’ In a Silent Way.
