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.
As a solo artist, Baker explores the deconstructive sonic possibilities of the electric guitar as a primary sound source, creating music that ranges from experimental to post-rock to contemporary classical. He performs in the experimental collective Arc and the ambient/doom metal project Nadja.
He has also composed work for The Penderecki String Quartet and The Uxbridge Chamber Choir.

Has he done anything similar to book of nods? I have listened to quite a few of his solo albums the past few days and there is quite a bit of variation in the style of work.

I was always a huge Nadja fan, but I could never quite get into his solo stuff. My tastes have changed since I last gave his material a listen, but damn Book of Nods is some of the most mindblowing music I have ever heard. I must now go and try to download as much of his work as I can, I feel an idiot for not realising the beauty and greatness of his work sooner.
