Ambient Observatory is a gathering place for sonic explorers, sound artists, noise junkies, tonal architects, drone zoners, beat crafters, atonal reactives, and everyone else working at the fringes of sound and music. This Winterruption 2026 showcase invites audiences to immerse themselves in the outer edges of listening, where ambient, noise, and experimental practices blur into new forms of sonic experience. More than a performance, it is a shared space of discovery, deep listening, and unexpected resonance.

Graeme Dyck is a sound artist / researcher from Saskatchewan whose meandering practice variously involves field recording, audio programming, mathematics, poetry, visual art, fiction, and theory, and often centres questions of ecology, materiality, and our relationships with the nonhuman. graeme’s recent live electroacoustic work uses microsound techniques to unfold field recordings into crackling otherworlds, as part of the project ‘tell me again about the holocene,’ collaborations with and laments for our vanishing kin. Graeme studied music and mathematics at the University of Saskatchewan and electroacoustics at the University of Birmingham, UK.

Catholic Stare ruminates upon the inextricable relationship between sound and place; how an individual’s meaningful perceptual experience with place is contextualized by the sounds created and heard within it.
