Dana Sipos
Acclaimed Canadian songwriter Dana Sipos’ cosmic folk songs are constellations - glowing in the vast landscape, mapping the liminal spaces between memory and myth. Sipos inhabited the far north before going nomad and her captivatingly nuanced songs are filled with a wild wind and a haunting surrealism. She now resides among the old growth of Vancouver Island, British Columbia and with earthen imagery, rich spiralling vocals, and textured instrumentation she sets the stage for a deeply moving performance. A consummate performer, Sipos has brought her cosmic folk to living rooms, concert halls and festivals stages across North America, Europe and Australia. With a new collection of captivating songs that hold the complexity of the human experience up to the light, her new album 'Golden Molten' will be released in early 2026.

Wright’s primary composition tools, for both electronic and acoustic music, are his cello, Ableton Live, a modular synthesizer, and a 4-track tape machine.
