Brandon Auger (b.1978) - artist and structural builder based in Halifax, N.S. Working with sound as a medium, his minimalistic work promotes the amplification of electronic idiosyncrasies and vibrational nuances in both acoustic and synthetic environments.

Along with being an active member of suddenlyLISTEN and the improvising community in Canada, Auger’s main project, pnl(a), has been a 20+ year study of tape/electronic music having amassed several releases. Brandon is also one half of the microsound group Strata (with cellist Norm Adams) and the founder of Northern Apparatus, an improvising trio with Andrew MacKelvie and Danielle Jakubiak.

He has also worked greatly with members of Mocean Dance and Kinetic Studios, fusing his approach to sound with various choreographers in both compositional and improvised constructs. His compositions, installations, live performances and collaborative projects have spanned across both Canada and the U.S.
