Caleb Klager is a sound designer, electroacoustic composer, and bassist currently based in Toronto, Canada. He holds a BMus (Jazz Performance) from the University of Toronto, where he studied under Dave Young, Andrew Downing, and Geoff Young. His performances span across many different platforms and spaces such as the MOCA, Drake Underground, Aga Khan Museum, the Tranzac, and the Rex Hotel. He’s performed, toured, recorded, and composed for a variety of different projects and artists including JC3, Spectrum Music, Erez Zobary, Jason Martin, Nomadic Family, Nicole Chambers, and Harry Bartlett.

In 2019 he started his debut project, Impronaut, featuring bass, soprano saxophone, synthesizers, and drums, creating an array of imaginative and improvised pieces with a focus on polyrhythmic grooves and stirring, fluid melodies. In 2021 he released his EP Theories, a collaborative project with visual artists from international-collective NXT SNDY – a sound piece to be used in tandem with various art installations and crafted objects in the near future in Canada and abroad.

In addition to these projects, Caleb has participated in a number of workshops and intensives, such as the SIM (School of Improvised Music) workshop based in Brooklyn, NYC, where he studied under Michael Formanek, Ralph Alessi, Drew Gress, Andy Milne, and Tom Rainey. He has also participated in the DIY Synthesizer Workshop run by Dogbotic based in California, where he’s building synthesizers he hopes to use in his future projects.
