A talented improvisor and performer, Meredith Bates is known for her elegant and virtuosic sound. The Vancouver-based artist has spent the past twenty years recording and performing around the world, in ensembles, such as Pugs and Crows (JUNO winner 2013, WCMA 2016), and projects led by Vancouver music icons Peggy Lee, Tony Wilson, Leah Abramson, and Ford Pier. Meredith is the founder and leader of Like the Mind, a sextet of celebrated female improvisers from Vancouver and Stockholm, and of Sound Migrations, a multi-faceted collaboration combining electroacoustic soundscapes with processed photography. In December 2020, she released an epic ambient and experimental debut album, ‘If Not Now’, which features lush layers of processed violin and viola.
