L'Avenir

L’Avenir is the cold synth project of veteran electronic musician and video artist Jason Sloan. Known throughout the electronic ambient scenes for his contemplative electronic soundscape work for over a decade; Sloan founded L’Avenir as a side project in 2011 to explore his long time love of Cold wave and dark electronic music. L’Avenir has now become his main creative focus. While releasing over a dozen solo albums and E.P.’s under his own name, Sloan has played live all over the US, Canada and Europe including the influential Live Constructions radio program at Columbia University, STEIM in Amsterdam, CMMAS in Morelia, Berlin’s Liquid Sky TV and Philadelphia’s The Gatherings concert series, one of the country’s oldest continuing ambient and electronic music series. Sloan is head of the Interactive Arts + Sound Art program(s) and a professor teaching sound, electronic music, video art and interactive media at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD.
