ABOUT US

Riparian Media offers reasonably priced publicity, grant-writing and other service for artists, events, and organizations operating within what could loosely be termed “exploratory music.”

Our advocacy draws on years of varied experience within music-making — performance, composition, event production, and music journalism. We are firm believers in community and in achieving greater visibility clients, we aim to discover new reciprocal connections between disparate agents within the musical ecosystem. We honour the artistry of musicians and creators, but also those behind the scenes — writers, curators, audience-members — and hope to open new channels for resource-sharing, dialogue, and, most of all, sonic curiosity.

We are proud to say that we have facilitated visibility for our clients in a number of notable media outlets including: The Wire, DownBeat Magazine, BBC Radio 3, Tiny Mix Tapes, the Vancouver Sun, Exclaim! Magazine, I Care If You Listen, WFMU, Jazz Journal, International Piano and many more.
