Inca Ore is the experimental music project of Eva Saelens, a Portland-based musician known for her genre-blending audio creations that often infuse ambient, noise, and avant-garde elements. The name Inca Ore serves as an artistic moniker, behind which Saelens weaves a tapestry of haunting vocalizations, ethereal soundscapes, and layered textures that draw the listener into a unique sonic realm.

One of her most evocative works is "Silver Sea Surf School," which further established Inca Ore as a purveyor of mystical and unorthodox sound experiences. Her 2008 release, "Birthday of Bless You," is a testament to her craft in manipulating sounds and voice to produce an album that drifts between the otherworldly and the intimately personal, solidifying her reputation in the experimental music scene. Additionally, her collaboration with Grouper in the split release "Inca Ore / Grouper" showcased Saelens' ability to hold her own among fellow experimental artists, as both musicians delivered a hauntingly beautiful exchange between Inca Ore's abstract vocalizations and Grouper's signature ethereal drone.
