Lors de sa résidence au Centre d'Expérimentation Musicale, Kee Avil apportera des nouvelles pièces à explorer en ensemble constitué d’instruments à cordes. Elle s’intéresse plutôt à l’exploration de textures sonores qui peuvent parvenir de ces instruments, en combinaison avec son approche habituelle de voix et guitare. Accompagnée de son collaborateur Zachary Scholes (qui a aussi coproduit son dernier album ‘Crease’), Kee Avil explorera ses nouvelles chansons dans un contexte de composition qui rencontre l’improvisation, de mélodies qui rencontrent le mur de son.

Originally from Montreal (QC), Kee Avil combines guitar, vocals and electronic production in songs that always seem on the verge of collapse. The abstract and the real intertwine; familiarity slips through an experimental vision. Kee Avil's debut album, 'Crease' released on Constellation Records in March 2022 and is his most structured work to date. Careful attention to texture inhabits each song and creates a unique, artificial atmosphere. The wet, the abrasive, and the delicate cohabit there, a solitary journey in a strange landscape. Kee Avil has toured the United States, Europe and Canada several times. She has performed at numerous festivals in Europe and North America, including À L’arme, Le Guess Who?, Pop Montreal, Suoni Per Il Popolo, the Vancouver International Jazz Festival and Guelph, among others.
