from Canada experimental underground 016 survey, released March 4, 2016
Sarah Davachi (b. 1987, Calgary, Canada) holds a bachelor's degree in philosophy from the University of Calgary, and a master's degree in electronic music and recording media from Mills College in Oakland, California. As a composer of electronic and electroacoustic music, Davachi is engaged in practices of analog and modular synthesis, psychoacoustic manipulations, multi-channel sound diffusion, and studio composition. Davachi's compositional projects are primarily concerned with disclosing the antiquated instruments and forgotten sonics of a bygone era in analog synthesis, with concurrent treatment of acoustic sources – particularly organs, strings, and woodwinds – often involving de-familiarization through processing. Her work considers the experience of enveloped sonic dwelling, utilizing extended durations, gradual transformations in texture, and simple harmonic structures that emphasize variations in overtone complexity and natural phasing patterns.

Her work as a music researcher concerns aspects of experimentalism, organology and archival study, and phenomenology and perception, and has been published and presented within Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Since 2007, Davachi has also had the unique opportunity to work for the National Music Centre (formerly Cantos Music Foundation) in Calgary as an interpreter, researcher / content developer, and archivist of their collection of acoustic and electronic keyboard instruments. Additionally, she has worked for the Western Front Society in Vancouver as an assistant in archival audio digitization, and has lectured on the history of synthesis, sound design, psychoacoustics, and audio recording at Simon Fraser University and Vancouver Film School. She has held artist residencies at The Banff Centre for the Arts (Banff, Canada), STEIM / Studio for Electro Instrumental Music (Amsterdam, Netherlands), WORM / Instituut voor Avantgardistische Recreatie (Rotterdam, Netherlands), and EMS / Elektron Musik Studion (Stockholm, Sweden), and is the recipient of grants from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. Davachi currently resides in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
