about

" The recently formed Overleaf assembles three of Toronto’s most distinct yet unsung voices in a compelling and elusive amalgam. Synthesist (and occasional bamboo flutist) Heidi Chan (aka Bachelard), saxophonist Kayla Milmine, and Mira Martin-Gray, who has an uncharacteristically acute grasp of mixer feedback, are indeed improvising, but this work trades many of the tropes of the free-improv genre for simmering hallucinatory drift.

Rather than engaging in conversational gestures, they occupy one of those ensemble scenarios where each participant follows their own separate but complementary orbit. Every element is as well-blended as it is heterogenous, which imbues this music with both a painterly surface and an uneasy plurality that sometimes erupts into all-out volatility—especially as the album progresses.

Overleaf is delicately anarchic—slipping from atmospheric hush to raucous bluster without making a spectacle of it. They’ve harnessed the strengths of both seamlessness and contrast, and have somehow managed to open a void where these polar opposites exist simultaneously. " - Nick Storring, Musicworks
