Jason Doell
At EMS EMS 1-13 December, 2025

Over the past 15 years, Jason Doell has become an integral member of Canada’s experimental and contemporary music community. Though he remains an active participant among strictly musical circles, his areas of interest distinguish him given their tendency toward the interdisciplinary, including site/context-specific works, live coding, and signal chain manipulation. These preoccupations have yielded a number of major projects such as beneath a landscape, a 30-minute open-instrumentation work commissioned by Toronto’s INTERsection festival and unveiled in a subway station, the sprawling online interactive work TURNONANDBENOTALONE presented by the Music Gallery, and the algorithmic piece to be talking about something that is unlikely to happen which was commissioned at MaerzMusik in Berlin.
He is a member of the duo Invisible Out alongside multidisciplinary artist Xuan Ye and the trio Nidus with writer/ sound artist Marc Couroux and Matthew Ramolo (AKA Constellation Records’ Khôra). Doell has also worked with several notable ensembles and performers such as Quatuor Bozzini, Continuum, Thin Edge New Music Collective, junctQín, Yang Chen and Cheryl Duvall.
