Baker, Aidan / Lost In The Rat Maze

Consouling Sounds

With Lost in the Rat Maze, Aidan Baker delivers an unconventional album—even by Baker standards. Known for his extensive ambient soundscapes, here he takes a different approach. Instead of a broad, densely layered palette, he employs post-rock composition methods: more compact, pointed and clear progressions together with a diverse array of instruments, sounds and techniques. Expect the classic Baker elements—captivating, fascinating, repetitive, mesmerizing sounds—but with a twist. Baker is a Canadian musician and writer who has performed around the world, both solo and with his partner Leah Buckareff in the ambient-doom duo Nadja. A prolific artist, he has released numerous albums on Alien8 Recordings, Beta-Lactam Ring Records, Drone Records and many more. He is also the author of a several books of poetry. Baker currently lives in Berlin, Germany.
