Jeremy Young is a maker of analog concrète* electronic tape music from Tiohtià:ke/Montréal, Quebec, Canada. He is a member of the experimental poetry_sound unit Cloud Circuit, alongside writer Deanna Radford, and the electroacoustic modern classical trio Sontag Shogun, with pianist Ian Temple and sound/voice artist Jesse Perlstein, as well as other projects.

Making use of a sine and square wave oscillator system, 1/4″ magnetic tape loops, filtered radio and EMF signal, and foley-inspired** sound treatments from amplified surfaces and objects, Young’s improvisational techniques are influenced by Cagean chance as well as haptics-based praxis and deep listening. His unique, grid-less approach is anchored by combining the physical treatment of audio signal with complex musical content to create sonic narratives imprinted by the media on which they are recorded, edited, and played back.

Here in Rijeka, Young will perform sketches for tape and oscillators extrapolating the material on his new record, ‘Cablcar’ (2025, Halocline Trance).

* concrète music (fr. musique concrète) is a form of experimental music that uses real-world sounds—recordings of the environment, speech, machines, instruments, and more—as the raw material for musical composition (more: Wikipedia)

** foley technique is the art of creating and recording sounds that imitate everyday or specific actions, primarily used in film, television, and radio to enhance or recreate sounds that the camera cannot capture well — such as footsteps, rustling clothes, bone breaking, door openings, etc. (more: Wikipedia)
