About

Astrid Bin (Saint A) is a British-Canadian artist, designer and musician, specialising in building musical instruments.

Drawing on her career as an installation artist she engages deeply with materials, striving to discover the potential of the stuff that surrounds us. Using her knowlege of electronic engineering and computing she builds custom systems of sensing that turn these assemblages into playable musical objects. Her instruments have been featured on stages worldwide.

Musically she explores the connection between cities, rhythm and memory, through vocalisation, percussion, found sound, modular synthesis and field recordings.

Her debut EP, Dark Times, is due for release in 2025.
