Playing music at a young age does not a prodigy make, though it certainly helped Canadian composer Kara-Lis Coverdale. A student of piano throughout her childhood in rural Ontario, she became organist and composing music director at a local church at 14. After earning an MA in musicology and composition, Coverdale moved to Montréal. In addition to working as the organist for a local church, she befriended esteemed sound artist Tim Hecker, who recruited her to play on his albums Virgins (2013) and Love Streams (2016).
Kara-Lis Coverdale talked collaboration, working with her Estonian musical heritage and how architecture informs and influences her creative process in her lecture at RBMA Berlin 2018.

Then, in 2015, Coverdale released her solo debut, Aftertouches. Using synthetic instruments sourced from VSTs, sound banks, and personal archives, she blurred the lines between electronic and acoustic music, as well as the secular and the non-secular. Since then, she’s played festivals like MUTEK and Unsound and released her 2017 EP Grafts, on which she processed and looped vocal samples to create cool and melodic modal compositions.

KLC always reminds me the beauty in exploring the calm, the honest and authentic in this world full of absurd questions
Hey RBMA, please do not allow this interviewer to do any more interviews. He's subtly condescending and trying too hard to dig up things that aren't there.
oh and smug too
her mother made music and did graphic design, and he doesn’t touch on that creative line at all, he’s just obsessed about her not being “just canadian”. it’s weird. then he wants to know how religious she is, when he could have asked what it’s like to play a pipe organ, one of the largest instruments with such complexity and depth and power to it...luckily she just slipped this stuff in there herself. but since he isn’t interested at all, she’s left to do this insecure monologue while he isnt even listening to her.
@@setphaser Ja! My Mom. Her work in translation, symbology, and graphics has in many ways informed and precluded a lot of my own computer graphic work (and otherwise musical transcription experimentalism) in ways I am sure l haven't yet fully comprehended or realized. She was a city planner by education and a drafts person and a sign painter. But she can do just about anything in the Renaissance sense. When I was growing up she was doing a lot of stencil work; pin-striping and lettering (~Von Dutch) on a lot of the engines, toys, & and equipment my Dad, who is a builder and custom mechanic among several other things, would build or work on. The graphic relationships between build, body design, striping, and personality is very rich and interesting and technical. Notions of cycle (RPM, etc) and how these mechanics are sympathetic with corresponding graphics themselves are really fascinating and inhabit very musical systems, too. I often saw how gracefully she walked a line between highly metricized and measured understandings of space and design but then was also aesthetically concerned and considered with creating space between function and meaning. And later, ecologically, through bio work. But in some more "fun" projects she did earlier on there was a real sense of humour in the way she worked. For instance, we are a family that is into snowmobiling (being from Canada actually is sort of important, haha), and there is a longstanding rivalry between the sled builders Bombardier and Arctic Cat. (Side note my first personal 3-wheeler as a child was a Yamaha
@@kara-liscoverdale thank you for the beautiful words
I saw her open for Tim Hecker earlier this year. A truly profound sonic experience. Fierce without being violent, peaceful without being sentimental. I can’t wait for whatever is next!
this is a really successful confident established artist and yet the interviewer seems constantly surprised that she had the guts to do such weird stuff and keeps reiterating that she should feel insecure about her choices.
All women's Art is inherently confessional and stems from the tedious facts of their personal biography!!!
the interviewer should ask more about how she compose her amazing musiic.... not about too personal things. she is amazing composer, i want to know more about her music.
wow her music is really great, but the interview was weird, like he thought her life was a total novelty. she had to keep bringing it back to her music while he kept trying to stoke controversies and highlight weird personal stuff in her life.
that guy piss me off too much had to leave the interview, fell sorry for Kara
Saw her opening for Death Grips in Cologne few years ago. Wasn't the best place to enjoy her music haha. Hope to see/hear her sometime again, in a better environment.
that show was sick
@@kara-liscoverdale I'm thinking about your set from that show to this day! so hauntingly beautiful. you should come to Vienna once, I'd love to see you again

yes that makes a lot of sense what she says about "year one" of existence for human (in western world) about the terminology of classical..basically this application added to attending rigourous schools that are also literary but applying the new way of thinking into oneself or practice and just like..... the hyper-analytics of everything and everything..dominating a lot of foundation to creative act...
truly legendary artist !
also great mention of Harry Partch , my favourite as well !
This interviewer insists so much on manipulating the conversation. Give him feedback to improve because he is very intrusive and misleading, this is unfortunate for such an interesting composer and artist. Great to be able to watch this as a reference on what not to do when interviewing someone though.
jfc KLC is a genius but I literally cannot tolerate this interviewer
love your work!!
Yikes. This interviewer is really disrespectful and condescending. He keeps cutting her off and undermining her responses. She is a sorceress and I wish this 1.5 HOURS was led by someone that actually had reverence for her insights and expertise. Missed opportunity.
The interviewer makes this hard to watch.. sure Kara says lots of great stuff but this is a cringe fest
painful interviewer. Chatting to her like she's on his late night chat show
this guy....
Wasn't there another RBMA interview? I remember seeing one but it seems to be gone now. Was better then this one
Kara lis is the spirit animal for all unpretentious sonic intellectuals. the sheer technical ability displayed in her albums is striking. She should collaborate with Actress 😉
Why do you guys edit out the musical examples?
Copyright probably.
Crowd looks malnourished
Why is the interviewer so shaky and edgy? It really takes away from the interview. Also, as this is RBMA, shouldn’t he be asking more questions regarding her music rather than purely personal questions…
For this to be an audio lecture / interview... Red bull did not get that this guy seriously needs a pop filter... His mouth sounds are completely gross and distracting like his personality.
What does he laugh so much about? e.g. at 2:00
Crrrrrringe
