YlangYlang

Currently based in Hamilton (ON), musician Catherine Debard has roots in Montreal’s experimental music scene, a community in which she has been actively involved for several years. Under the moniker YlangYlang, a solo project she has developed since 2012, Debard translates experiences, memories, emotions and senses into electronic sounds through a delicate balance of improvisation and composition. She has released records internationally on labels such as Crash Symbols (USA), Phinery (DK), Fluere Tapes (SE) and Carpi Records (FR). She has also created and produced videogame soundtracks for Montreal artist Palgal, audio hypnosis sessions for Ascension Hypnosis, and has given many creative music workshops. Debard has toured extensively in Canada and the United States, and has performed at international music festivals including Suoni Per Il Popolo, Mutek, Electric Eclectics, Strangewaves, Howl Arts Festival, Tone Deaf and Anti-Vacances in Lyon (FR).
