Jeremy Young is a composer and maker of concrète electronic tape music from Tiohtià:ke/Montréal, Quebec. 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. In 2024, Young launched a music blog for album reviews called The Royal Editoryal.

Making use of a sine and square wave oscillator system, analog 1/4" tape and open reel loops, filtered radio and EMF signal, and foley-inspired sound treatments from amplified surfaces and objects, Young's improvisational and compositional techniques are influenced by Cagean aleatoricism as well as haptics-based praxis and deep listening. His McLuhan-esque approach lies in combining the physical treatment of audio signal (piezo mic'd objects and surfaces, manipulations of tape and tone via texture and voltage) with complex musical content, to create sonic narratives that are anchored by the media on which they are recorded, edited, and/or played back. Young’s live performances are improvisational and grid-less.

Guillermo Pizarro: Flag Day Recordings operator, Guillermo Pizarro uses field recordings, tapes, harsh noise, synths and ambient textures to achieve his cinematic storytelling through sound.

Moth Bucket: Pennsylvanian electroacoustic free jazz tension.

As Surviving Total: As Surviving Total centers around the idea of Loss, viewed through a number of different connotations.

Examining through the lens of litigious judicial practices, Loss gives a quantitative dollar amount to the damages suffered through personal injury, medical malpractice, negligence, and injury resulting from exposure to toxic substances, among other things.

AST also examines Loss through the lens of deterioration of personal relationships, death of friends and family, the quantitative measure of pain, and the inevitable reconciliation of future hardships.
