Sarah Davachi is a Canadian composer, sound artist, and electroacoustic musician renowned for her evocative soundscapes that explore the nuances of timbre and the psychoacoustic phenomena. Born on May 1987 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Davachi developed a deep connection with classical music and philosophy early on, which has continually informed her complex auditory explorations. Her work is characterized by a refined experimentation with electronic and acoustic instruments such as synthesizers, harmoniums, and strings, creating textures that are at once ethereal and deeply grounded in historical musical traditions.

Davachi holds a bachelor's degree in philosophy from the University of Calgary and a master's degree in electronic music and recording media from Mills College in Oakland, California. Her academic background is reflected in her methodical approach to sound creation and the contemplative quality of her compositions. Through her various acclaimed releases, including "Long Gradus," "Two Sisters," and "Mother of Pearl," and her thought-provoking projects such as "Antiphonals" and "Rushes Recede," Davachi has established herself as a vital voice in contemporary experimental music. Her work is not only a study in slow evolution and careful variation within drone and minimalist frameworks, but also an invitation to listeners to immerse themselves in the infinitesimal shifts of sonic landscapes. Davachi’s contributions to music are profound explorations of the experience of sound, resonating with audiences who seek depth and transcendence in music.
