Toronto-based independent, non-binary artist Avi C. Engel has unveiled their latest album, Nocturne (Soundtrack for an Invisible Film).
This unique project offers a haunting blend of improvised instrumentals and songs, creating a murky and atmospheric listening experience. The instrumentation features a rich combination of voice, guitar, gudok, talharpa, percussion, and field recordings, adding to the album’s ethereal and unconventional charm.

Nocturne is Engel’s fourth release under their current name, following a name change in 2023, and showcases their continued evolution as an artist unafraid to explore the boundaries of sound and storytelling.
