Our Story
Keram, an accomplished musician, film and television actor, is an out-of-the-box artist has always defied classification; an experimenter and pioneer whose music ranges from ambient circuit-bent minimalism, to heartbreaking acoustic folk, from noise core punk to sugary Tokyo pop, has always followed his whims and fulfilled them all.
A growing number of listeners around the world have learned to follow him on the adventure.
These Days:
Keram released new singles in 2019 and 2020 respectively - "(Don't Get Caught) By the Dazzling Charades," Artificial Intelligence," and "That Light." In 2021 he announced a new full-length album in collaboration with Alex Lifeson on guitars, Ryan Brown on drums, Kathryn Rose on background vocals, Don Garbutt on synths and samples, Ritesh Das on table, Ed Maxwell on upright bass, and an amazing array of other collaborators on trupet, flugel horn, and more.
The Longer Story:
At 10 years of age, Keram was performing radio dramas for the CBC and launched his music career, releasing a full length album at fourteen in South America signed to a major label with songs charting at radio.
At 14 Keram was nominated for a Dora Mavor Moore Award (Canada's Tony) for his performance in "The Prince and the Pauper." At fifteen, he met Keith White and the two formed the band Blue Dog Pict for which Keram was the frontman for seven years.
"Some call it a cult, others a culture"
Keram created Constant Change, an indie record label in 1993. BDP released three albums and toured North America, charting in the top ten on a dozen College radio stations. BDP evolved into a lifestyle; the 'crew' helped them make every show an event: lighting, sets, costumes and makeup, and when themes for shows were announced, the audience prepared accordingly.
Keram dubbed them "Sky Pirates," a global network of creative pro-active skeptics. August 4th, Robot Pride Day, is a holiday recognized globally by Sky Pirates.
In 2004, Keram wrote/produced/directed the "The Charge of the 08.ZIYA," a feature-length film about the Sky Pirates. Drawn from logs of old Sky Pirate chats in IRC (internet relay chat) the film details the fight to keep the imagination free from the Corprat Empyre.
In 1996 Keram teamed up with Joshua Joudrie and DJ Shine to form Automated Gardens, an ambient-electro project using delays, turntables and instruments. Dubbed "Autogard" by fans, they played a wide variety of raves, usually taking over the chill out rooms for up to eight hours!
Keram relocated to LA in 1996 to form Ribcage with pavlo (bass) and Eric Herrmann (drums). The band toured until 1999 and recorded "For Machines To Dream About". After the band parted ways, Keram went solo. He released songs via film soundtracks (Happy Campers, Uptown Girls) and has scored for Sony, EPCOT Center, and the CBC among others.
He released his debut solo album "Box" in 2008 and the full band follow-up "Come to Life" - executive produced by Alex Lifeson (Rush) in 2014.
Come To Life, executive produced by Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson, is a sprawling, other-worldly rock adventure that took an army of about 30 musicians, whose collective credits include Coheed & Cambria, Zappa Plays Zappa, Edwarde Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Mary Margaret O’Hara, and of course Rush.
From “Killing Days, Living Nights” that sounds like a cross between Neil Young and D’Angelo to the 12-minute “The Devil Knows Me Well,” an audio history of the blues that starts with the Delta, visits the Stones, pulls in Beach Boys-type harmonies and stops at Hendrix, the 10-song opus is an unpredictable hybrid of Americana, new age, electronica, roots, rock, theatre, experimental, jazz, pop, and then some. It ends with the 21-minute title track.
As an actor — who has appeared in the films American History X, Punisher: War Zone, Irvine Welsh’s Ecstasy and Texas Chainsaw 3D and TV shows True Blood, The Mentalist, Saving Grace and The L Word — Keram (Malicki-Sanchez) brings that expression to his music too, writing from other people’s perspective.
Recorded in Toronto and Los Angeles, Keram chose the musicians for their improvisation skills, including Lifeson who appears on “Devil Knows Me Well,” “Mary Magdalene” and “Moving Dark Circles.” The album was mastered by Andy Vandette (Rush, David Bowie, Dream Theater) and “Mary Magdalene” was mixed by Rich Chycki (Rush, Dream Theater, Aerosmith).
When Keram isn't busy making music, he runs a Virual Reality conference - VRTO - and a VR and Augmented Reality Festival - FIVARS. He also is a VR developer and programmer, and editor in chief of IndieGameReviewer.com which he founded in 2007.
The musicians on "Come to Life" have, at one time or another, played with RUSH, Coheed and Cambria, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Mary Margaret O'Hara, The Zappa Band. They have offered me invaluable feedback and insight into how to improve and complete this album. Thus this record has become a collaborative document for some of the best musicians working today and has surpassed my wildest dreams.
The album, made in various studios between Toronto and LA actually has its earliest origins over a decade ago. While it was a huge exercise in perseverance, in many ways I am glad that it took as long as it did; along the way I found more and more unique and fascinating musicians to join the effort.

A really important part of the story is that in the final stages, the album was supported by the friends and fans. Here is the IndieGoGo campaign video that shows more about how the record came together.
