Carl Didur is a multi-instrumentalist from Ancaster Ontario, Canada, born 1980, and a 20 year member of Toronto's independent music community. Alex Zhang Hungtai once called him "Toronto's best kept secret". His music is almost always instrumental and draws liberally from many aspects of the avant garde, notably Terry Riley, Faust, Daphne Oram, the Soft Machine, Alice Coltrane, and Sun Ra, while never forgetting Pop music and the feeling of 60s Soul. He has produced records for his own bands Zacht Automaat and Fake Humans as well as a single for Slim Twig and an album for New Fries. He appears briefly on albums by U.S. Girls Slim Twig and Absolutely Free as a guest keyboardist.
In the mid-2000s he was in the bands 'The Battleship, Ethel', No Dynamics and Rozasia (featuring future Blood Ceremony flautist Alia O'Brien). The long-running "krautrock" band The Battleship, Ethel toured repeatedly with Damo Suzuki of Can when he visited Canada and collaborated with members of Simply Saucer and Christmas, Do Make Say Think, and evolved into Zacht Automaat, with original member and long-time collaborator Michael McLean.
Recent work includes Fake Humans Exigesis and Zacht Automaat Memory of the World. He has released three solo tapes of experimental pop music, I Cannot See You Too Well (2013), Nothing is the Secret to Anything (2014), and Is Is Yesterday? (2020), and an album of meditative minimalism based on natural processes Natural Feelings Vol I (2020).
He distributes his own music digitally worldwide through Bandcamp and locally in Toronto.
