Ida Toninato

Montreal-based musician IDA TONINATO has an ear for the unknown and a deep interest in sonic phenomenons. She explores and bonds with reverberant spaces, with which she creates most of her music. A solid contemporary music background and her own daring intuitions are the two pillars of her composition practice. After Strangeness is Gratitude, her debut full length record, she recorded We Become Giants at the Tank Center for Sonic Arts (Colorado) and released it on Dragon’s eye Recordings. Inspired by the 40 seconds reverb of this giant metal water tank and infused with electronic processing in studio, this album has been described as “a marvel of technique and emotion, of patience and careful post-production, combining long near-silences with beautiful and terrifying reverberant tones that multiply in fractal form, each detail as rich and intense as its source” [Exclaim].
