This week, Kara-Lis Coverdale joins Contact Wave to discuss her stunning new album, “From Where You Came,” which comes out May 6. Coverdale composes and performs musical works across acoustic and electronic mediums to create works that transcend reality. Driven by a devotion to sonic afterlife, memory, and material curiosity, Coverdale’s work occupies new planes built upon a borderless understanding of electronic music rooted in the interlocking pathways of musical systems and languages. Steadfastly committed to developing and expanding her vivid understanding of music as an immersive, tunable, and listening world rich in emotion and sensitivity, she is heralded as “one of the most exciting composers in North America” (The Guardian), and named unique navigator of the digital frontier with an ease and emotive sensitivity “we cannot yet comprehend” (FADER), Coverdale’s work has been met with consistent critical acclaim.
