New Music Edmonton and audio ark team up for Listen to This! with Steph Patsula – the second in our series of listening sessions. This time, we are excited to welcome one of our city’s key multidisciplinary artists, Steph Patsula. Their practice features a dazzling and brilliantly unpredictable mix of visual, sonic and theatrical elements, with a growing number of brilliant solo and collaborative projects happening here and in locations across the continent.
Join us on June 10, for this informal session, as we sit down with Steph as they share some of the recordings that they love, on the amazing sound system at audio ark!
While you’re at the session, please enjoy a beverage from the cash bar – all proceeds will go to Edmonton’s Food Bank. You can also bring a non-perishable donation!
Listen to This! is part of New Music Edmonton’s outreach programming, and part of Now Hear This 2026.
Steph Patsula is an interdisciplinary artist working across sound, performance, and visual media. Their practice explores the relationships between ritual, technology, ecology, and perception through immersive sonic environments and experimental performance. Drawing on improvisation, folklore, and tactile approaches to sound-making, Patsula creates work that investigates presence, intimacy, and human/non-human systems. They hold MFAs from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of Alberta, and maintain a studio practice between Chicago and Edmonton.
