SXXN is the electronic project of Lebanese-Canadian artist Alex Raja Ven, whose work moves through the blurry territories of memory, presence, and perception. Working with personal sound archives—field recordings, tape loops, electronic textures—Ven crafts atmospheric and emotionally resonant compositions shaped by ambient, minimal techno, and experimental tape music. Her pieces unfold slowly, often durational and spatialized, revealing sonic transformations through repetition, decay, and return. In 2025, she developed a live spatial audio work for loudspeakers, microphone, and electronics during a residency at Toronto’s Music Gallery. In 2023, she collaborated on Parallel 03, a web-based instrument by Raven Chacon and John Dieterich for Vancouver New Music.

Live
SXXN, the ambient project of Alex Raja Ven, weaves field recordings, minimal techno, and tape textures into a durational sound journey. Echoes decay and return in altered form, blurring memory and presence. Intimate and immersive, this performance is a slow unraveling of sonic time.
