Elsiane is a Canadian duo renowned for their eclectic blend of trip-hop, electronic, and art pop, presenting a lush soundscape that is as ethereal as it is profound. Formed in 2000 in Montreal by Elsieanne Caplette and Stephane Sotto, Elsiane's music is a reflection of Caplette's operatic vocals and multi-instrumental talents intertwined with Sotto's powerful percussion and programming finesse. Their name—a portmanteau of the members' names—encapsulates the personal nature of their artistic collaboration.

Their debut album "Hybrid," released in 2007, introduced listeners to their unique sound, marked by a rich tapestry of live instrumentation and digital soundcraft. The duo's subsequent releases, including "Mechanics of Emotion" (2012), and "Death of the Artist" (2017), continued to build upon their signature style, melding contemplative lyrics with cinematic soundscapes. The project's sophisticated style shines in their individual tracks like "Sinai," "Rin, Tongue and Dorner," and "Tu Mirada," all showcasing the band's penchant for musical depth and emotional resonance. With their intricate compositions and haunting vocal performances, Elsiane has carved out a distinctive niche within the diverse world of contemporary music.
