The Square Root of Evil is an electronic musician from Vancouver, Canada. While studying communications at university, she was introduced to electronic music production, discovering she could make all the strange noises that she loved into her own music. Since then, SROE has appeared on compilations in Canada, the US and the UK, has a netlabel release on Belladonna Records and has another EP in the works. On average she plays live shows monthly, regularly in Vancouver and several in the US and Europe. Besides making music and editing videos, short films and television programs, she runs 2 internet radio stations, promotes shows in Vancouver and has been an active member of the online electronic music community since 1996.

Square Root of Evil music has elements of drum n bass, breakcore, techno and glitch, with bleeps and bloops from old video games and ample weirdness thrown into the mix, usually in the form of a silly melody or 3. She leans towards frantic & somewhat complex rhythms made with crunchy low-fi sounds, and tries to make people smile while they dance.

Hey Jen! It was super cool meeting you at Soundwave....as brief as the encounter was. Just checked out your tunes again and I'm really enjoying them, I enjoy the complexity of the ideas and the variety from track to track. Anyways, hope your trip back was safe and I really hope to see you again some time soon.Peace, Sev.
