Between the boundaries of pop, ambient, and alternative folk, Tess Robby has carved her own niche in the granite of the Canadian songwriting scene over the past few years. With her debut, “Beacon” (2018), the classically trained singer quickly rose from an insider tip to a much-noticed multi-talent, and not just in the art metropolis of Montreal. Visionary like few of her colleagues, she uses her voice as an instrument to create cinematic sound designs that go beyond established production methods. Dualities of light and darkness, the tangible and the ephemeral, the rapturous energy of her vocals and the hypnosis of organic loops are brought together. It is the classic synthesis of what previously seemed irreconcilable that she also achieves with flying colours on her second album, “Ideas Of Space” (2022) – as a songwriter, producer, and musician. Tess Robby lives her artistic independence on all levels, and now also through her own label, SSURROUNDSS.
