About

Alaskan Tapes is the ever-evolving ambient music project of Toronto-based composer Brady Kendall, an artist who understands where he has been and uses that knowledge to help plan where his music is going. Over ten years and twice as many releases, plus myriad film scores and soundtrack compositions, the musician has allowed his work to progress organically and build upon its foundations, resulting in a craft both enjoyable for its maker and exciting for its audience.

Brady began his music career in high school as a drummer, inspired by the metal bands he loved before discovering drum and bass music. He was enthralled specifically with a sub-category of that sound with a more relaxed feel called liquid drum & bass, and he started making his own songs in that style to share online. From there he became more focused on what he calls “drawn-out minimal sounds,” starting several different ambient music projects and releasing new music consistently. He was set to release an EP of downtempo ambient songs called “The Alaskan Tapes EP” via one of his aliases when, upon recognizing just how far his sound had evolved he made the decision to go all in on that new name to represent the entirety of his work.

Since then Brady has released a number of albums, EPs, and singles and amassed hundreds of millions of streams online. He is currently releasing his eighth full length record, ‘Something Ephemeral’ slated for release on September 20th, 2024 via Nettwerk.
