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.
