5/5

Sarah Davachi (born 1987 in Calgary) is a Canadian sound artist, composer of electronic and electroacoustic music and pianist.

She is a graduate of the University of Calgary and holds a master's degree in electronic music and recording media from Mills College in Oakland, California. She has resided in Vancouver and Montreal, before relocating to Los Angeles in 2017 to pursue a PhD in Musicology at UCLA.

Davachi's music has been issued by Ba Da Bing, Recital, Important Records, and Students of Decay.

Davachi's compositional practice combines an interest in vintage analog synthesizers with contemporary treatment of acoustic instruments. She is also described as a drone artist. "Part of her success," wrote Resident Advisor, “comes from her musicality: she approaches drone with a fetching, but never facile, sense of melody.” According to The Stranger, "currently, Davachi is the closest thing we have to a hybrid of Éliane Radigue and Terry Riley." According to the Getty Museum, where she was invited to create experiential soundtracks to Robert Irwin's Central Garden, "Davachi is among the preeminent emerging composers and performers of electroacoustic music."
