Jess Conn-Potegal is a Montreal based musician, DJ, audio storyteller, and playlist curator. Since coming up in the early Pacific Northwest electronic music scene, Jess has focused on percussion, live improvisation, and intuitive collaboration to explore new sounds.

As a drummer and sound art creator, Jess founded groundbreaking bands and experimental music collectives, performing across Canada and internationally.

As a music consultant and sonic branding strategist Jess works with companies around the world to design artful custom playlists that bring their spaces to life.

Jess is interested in how music subjectively affects our experience of environments and vice versa. His work focuses on informal, instinct-driven processes, investigating how embodied interaction with spaces influences rhythm, tonal quality, structure, and valence in improvised music.

Recently Jess has moved towards collaboration at the nexus where emerging forms of visual art, music, and analog/digital media are cross pollinating; bringing the power of sound together with technology to create immersive, emotionally resonant experiences.
