Lily Koslow is a Montréal-based composer, pianist, and vocalist whose music explores the tension between delicate timbral nuance and visceral intensity. Influenced by surrealist literature and a wide spectrum of electronic music, their work combines vivid gestures and intricate textures into immersive sonic worlds which are governed by their own internal logic. Lily’s music has been described as “masterful…surfing between mysticism and exaltation” (Ludwig Van Montréal). Deeply engaged with mixed and electroacoustic media, Lily has undertaken residencies with the Yale Center for Collaborative Arts and Media (New Haven), Le Vivier / Ukrainian Association of Electroacoustic Music (Paris), the Akademie der Künste (Berlin), and McGill Percussion Ensemble (Montréal).
