DenMother is the experimental electronic music project of Canadian multidisciplinary artist Sabarah Pilon.
Her sound is described as atmospheric and ethereal converging with the feral, primal and instinctual, incorporating echoing vocal elements over layers of texture, drum and synth. DenMother creates an intimacy with her audience during her performances, which become living extensions of her music and act as stand alone rituals.
Pilon first began experimenting with electronic music production in her bedroom, initially self-releasing music under the moniker ‘Orphan’. After being discovered on Tumblr by then Maryland-based experimental label I Had An Accident Records, she released several cassettes and participated in collaborations with artists from across the US and Europe. Eventually, Pilon adopted the name “DenMother”.
Since then, DenMother has self-released numerous digital albums and EPs, continuing to showcase her ability to experiment within sub-genres under the electronic umbrella, resulting in an evolving yet cohesive discography.​ DenMother continues to refine and redefine her unique approach to songwriting and music production.
Her most recent work, ‘I Chased The Water’ (2024) is a devotional sacrifice to the Primordial Sea, examining themes of the Goddess, sexuality, quiet rage, tragic romance, and our ancestral relationship with the ocean and all her mythology.
"Frantic Ram" (2021), a concept album structured around Dante's Inferno, explored deep within the psyche during times of chaos and confinement, was nominated for multiple awards including an ECMA for Electronic Album of the Year.
Pilon is actively working on a new project surrounding Tree of Life mythology across global cultures, with a specific emphasis on her personal Pathworking practice based in the Hermetic Qabalah tradition.
