Aidan Baker is a musician and writer currently based in Toronto, Canada. Classically trained in flute, he is self-taught on guitar, drums, and various other instruments. A regular performer in and around Toronto, he has also performed in New York, Montreal, Chicago, San Francisco, and such festivals as The Om Festival, Mutek, SXSW, and The Distillery Jazz Festival.
He has released numerous CDs on independent labels from around the world. He is the author of two books of poetry, two poetry chapbooks, and has published poetry, fiction, and criticism in various international and scholarly journals.

He has also composed work for The Penderecki String Quartet and The Uxbridge Chamber Choir.

I've been overdosing on Nadja lately, I figured I ought to lend Aidan's solo work some time as well, and I'm glad I did - such beautiful and hypnotic music. I wish "I Wish Too, To be Absorbed" would be pressed on a 4xLP - that would so monstrously awesome, though perhaps impractical from Aidan's perspective, Man, if I didn't have class next Tuesday, I would be at the show in Boston, but alas, grad school must ruin all my fun.
