Aidan Baker

Canadian guitarist and composer known for ambient and drone solo work and for co-leading the duo Nadja; prolific in solo and collaborative releases with an emphasis on loop-based textures.

Member of the duo Nadja (with Leah Buckareff). Frequently uses guitar loops and tape loops in solo work. Widely cited as an ambient/drone/experimental artist with numerous solo and collaborative releases.

The available DeBaser review (CosmicJocker) reads as a dense, poetic take on The Sea Swells a Bit..., noting loop/tape textures, mojo of a title riff, and shifts across three variations. The reviewer admires Baker's craft and comparisons to his Nadja work while finishing with personal disappointment. Musically framed as ambient/drone with shoegaze and percussive touches.

For:Fans of ambient, drone and experimental loop-based guitar music; listeners of post-rock and shoegaze-tinged textures; followers of Nadja.
