Devon Hansen

Devon Hansen is a musician and writer based in Montreal. Originally from San Diego, they spent much of their upbringing and early adulthood traveling and living throughout California and the Pacific Northwest, absorbing the region’s many shades of weird and spiritual culture along the way. Upon moving to Montreal, they pursued academic studies in electroacoustic composition and gender and sexuality. In their first year, their acousmatic composition Habitation earned a placement in the Canadian Electroacoustic Community’s JTTP awards, and they have since gone on to balance their performance and production practice in electronic music with various fiction and non-fiction writing projects. In 2025, they launched Paracosm, a free Substack publication focusing on “explorations of culture, the weird, the spiritual, and the many faces of power.”
