Ian William Craig

Ian William Craig is a Canadian vocalist and composer, born in Edmonton in 1980 and based in Vancouver. Trained as a classical singer, he records his voice and runs it through modified or broken reel-to-reel tape machines, so the sound wears away and breaks up as it loops. His music sits between choral writing, ambient music and noise, and he became widely known with the album Centres in 2016. Craig earned an MFA in printmaking at the University of Alberta before moving to Vancouver, where he began releasing his own albums.
