"[Vaste III] engaged my imagination on a completely different level."

- Stephanie Martin (composer, conductor, musician)

"[Vaste III] is stacked with fine audiovisual nuances to an unreal level. You cannot listen to this the right way except with closed headphones in a quiet environment, and with nothing else to do.
I’m serious."

- Florian Maier, KMS Reviews

"C’est d’une grande beauté et c’est un bon moment d’accrocher au projet de cette jeune artiste, car elle n’est qu’au début. Visiblement, à l’écoute de cet album, elle est destinée à de grandes choses."
- Louis-Philippe LaBrèche, Le Canal Auditif

BIO

Ink Sticks & Stones is the moniker for Toronto based singer- songwriter Ai Rei Dooh-Tousignant. In May 2021, she will be releasing her EP Vaste: an intimate voyage based in electro-ambient and contemporary classical music.

Her first album, All That Gets Left Behind, is a collection of 10 folk/rock songs centred around stories written by the artist herself. The release was marked by an interview on Radio-Canada, along with a glowing review. Singles from the album were played on multiple radio stations across Canada, the U.S., and the U.K., more specifically the 2nd single called Full Blue Moon. Four music videos, all directed by Ink Sticks & Stones were released to help promote the album.

Being of mixed descent, Ink Sticks & Stones is constantly searching for different ways to express her many cultures, and openly advocates for a more inclusive Canadian music scene.

Étant d’origines mixtes, elle cherche constamment pour différentes méthodes d’exprimer ses multiples cultures, tout en demandant pour une industrie plus inclusive aux divers expériences canadiennes.

"It’s a storyteller’s epic that weaves in classical piano, Chinese mythology, French waltz, and folk noir to create an utterly unique sound."

- Jesse Daly, A Feedback Loop

"Full Blue Moon is a thoughtful and atmospheric song that flows over you like a warm rain shower. The video for it stars dancer and choreographer Gillian Leask and is a sophisticated piece that will reveal its magic only at a closer look."

- Oliver Bouchard, Glamglare

"The writing itself is very thought out, especially the lyrics. [...] Chilled-out, melodic, beautifully haunting, and thoughtful. Check out the album guys, it’s perfect!"

- Brad Cooper, The Music Entrepreneur
