Graham Walsh: Being Experimental During Production


Listen Later

Graham Walsh is a Juno Award and Polaris Prize nominated composer and producer from Toronto, Canada.  As a co-founding member of the experimental/electronic group Holy Fuck, Graham is known for consistently pushing the boundaries of music. He has carved a niche for himself as a masterful creator, producer, and performer, and his journey through the world of music has been a tapestry of innovation and inspiration.  As a producer, he has lent his expertise and distinct production style to many acclaimed albums for artists such as Alvvays, Debby Friday, METZ, Preoccupations, July Talk, Bully, Born Ruffians, Hannah Georgas, and Lights among others. He often composes music for film and TV, including the Blumhouse-produced documentary "Pharma Bro", and along with his band mates in Holy Fck, he has remixed songs for Radiohead, M.I.A., Tegan & Sara, Royksopp, and Bloc Party.
