Fili 周 Gibbons (we/they/them) are an artist, musician and recording engineer of mixed Chinese and Canadian ancestry based in Tiohtià:ke / Montreal. Their work draws on cello performance, audio production, improvisation, internal arts, and ancestral wisdom practices, combining these to create sensorial tapestries of memory and embodiment.
They have been invited to create original interdisciplinary performances (Festival Accès Asie / OBORO, PHI Centre, ISO Mexico City, International Institute for Critical Studies of Improvisation), and frequently collaborate with other artists in audio productions (Yaya Diallo, Géraldine Eguiluz, Michael Kim-Sheng, Rajni Shah), cello recordings (Devon Bate, Jeremy Dutcher), and sound design for 3D / VR experiences (World Creation Studio, Marie LeBlanc Flanagan).
They created the audiovisual company Studio Apothicaire in 2018, and continue to explore a human-centred sound production practice through a mixture of professional recordings, artist accompaniment, and community workshops.
