She holds a master’s degree in intermodal arts from the European Graduate School in Switzerland. Her undergraduate work was in costume studies at Dalhousie University.

Danielle Savage is a composer/ songwriter who loves working in various folk traditions, field recordings, modular synth and editing. With pieces ranging from multichannel fixed media, collaborative exhibitions, chamber works, to synth-pop, folk and music for film, she has had work performed or had work presented at hundreds of venues, including: Ignite the Arts, San Francisco Tape Music Festival, Foro De Música Nueva, Visiones Sonoras, 60×60 festival, Montreal/ New Musics, ArtsWells, Lux Magna, and many more. After many years of travelling and playing festivals, bars and street corners, she obtained a BFA in Composition and a BFA in Electroacoustics, both from Concordia University in Montréal, QC. These days, she is teaching music, learning the mandolin, prepping a new EP with her band Loon Town, gigging with Jeff Andrew and others, working on a quadraphonic installation and twiddling knobs on her modular synth in the mountains of BC.
