Light Conductor

Light Conductor is the ambient psych-electronic moniker of Jace Lasek (The Besnard Lakes) and Stephen Ramsay (Young Galaxy), with regular collaborator and touring member Olga Goreas (also of The Besnard Lakes). Built on a foundation of restored vintage synths and analogue electronic gear, Light Conductor records longform slowburn jams and then shapes them in studio, where Ramsay and Lasek don their seasoned producer hats to apply maximalist sound design to minimalist tracks, drenched in pink and brown noise, queasy modulation, sparse beats, and languorous melodic lines. Evoking a humid dawn on a gas giant, their alien drone anthems combine the numinous transcendentalism of Spiritualized and Moebius with the eroded grit of William Basinski.

“Heavyweight analogue synth nirvana.”- UNCUT

“Epic, shimmeringly radiant kosmische, like watching a sunrise on another planet. Fabulous.” - ELECTRONIC SOUND

Jace Lasek and Olga Goreas co-founded The Besnard Lakes in the mid-2000s, releasing a string of acclaimed albums on Jagjaguwar, Full Time Hobby and Flemish Eye, and twice shortlisted for the Canadian Polaris Prize. Lasek co-owns Breakglass Studio in Montréal and has recorded, produced, and/or mixed albums by Wolf Parade, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Suuns, Patrick Watson, Land of Talk, Esmerine, and Belle Orchestre, among many others.

Stephen Ramsay is a musician and producer who co-founded Young Galaxy with his partner Catherine McCandless in the mid-2000s, making six albums and garnering three Polaris Prize nominations prior to going on indefinite hiatus in 2018. Since then, Ramsay has produced and co-written for Karaba, Riches, and Rossomodo while continuing work in Total Fucking Darkness, Plumbing and Light Conductor.
