With her baritone saxophone and a visceral sensitivity to space, Ida Toninato shapes soundscapes where architecture becomes instrument. She composes within reverberant structures—cisterns, tanks, forgotten buildings—using resonance as raw material to stretch breath, deepen frequencies, and charge silence. Her album We Become Giants, recorded inside a water tank with 40 seconds of reverb, is a sonic statement of immersion and scale. Moving between contemporary composition, ambient music, and immersive practices like her VR piece Listening to the Walls, Toninato crafts works that engage both the body and the imagination. A JUNO and Opus nominee for her collaborations with violist Jennifer Thiessen and for L’Atlas des films de Giotto, she continues to forge a path where vulnerability, resonance, and power converge in expanded listening.
