"Fitting between the likes of Olafur Arnalds, Jon Hopkins with a splash of Lapalux, HMT creates experimental, genre-defying beauty."

- Backseat Mafia, Simon Lucas-Highes

      Noel Fanaeian (hundredmillionthousand) is a Canadian composer whose sound has evolved from ambient electronica to a bold fusion of choral tradition and experimental sound design. Known for his critically acclaimed second album, Attention Span, he now focuses on reimagining the choral sound world through ambient-inspired choral compositions and electronic manipulation.

​

Recently, Fanaeian has shifted his focus to composing contemporary choral music--what he describes as "ambient music for choir". By interweaving electronics and drones with choral elements, he conjures a futuristic spirituality that pushes the boundaries of classical music. Fanaeian will present unreleased acapella choral works he composed and recorded with the renowned chamber choir Pro Coro Canada under the direction of conductor Michael Zaugg. These compositions were refined by Grammy-nominated choral composer Benedict Sheehan.

 

In these upcoming solo performances, Fanaeian will electronically process pre-recorded choir, transforming traditional choral elements into expansive, meditative soundscapes. This entirely new direction combines choral tradition with experimental sound design, offering a boundary-pushing and immersive experience for audiences.
