Fili 周 Gibbons (we/they/them) are a musician and sound engineer of mixed Chinese and Canadian ancestry based in Tiohtià:ke / Montreal. Their artistic practice is a synthesis of cello performance, audio creation, embodiment, and traditional memory systems — employing these as potencies for the expression of plural identities, and the transmission of cultural memory.
Drawing from many years of practice in cello performance, improvisation and audio production, they have frequently collaborated across genres with artists from Canada and abroad (Devon Bate, Paloma Dawkins, Yaya Diallo, Rajni Shah). Deepening their connection to sound further through recording studies (M. Mus, McGill University), they founded the audiovisual production company Studio Apothicaire in 2018, and continue to explore audio practice through a blend of professional projects, interdisciplinary collaborations, and community-oriented sound projects.
