Varispeed showcases ambient and experimental sound artists in unique acoustic environments around the city. Inspired by the playback-altering tool, I invite you to join us for a night of durational sets that extend above and beyond the infrasonic.
Performers: Talullah Calderwood + Paramax
Talullah Calderwood, born in 2002 in New York City, grew up in Brooklyn. She attended the vocal conservatory program at LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. Later, she earned a BA in electronic music from Bard College, focusing on sound sculpture and electronic vocal processing with Max MSP. Her work emphasizes the use of physical objects and electronics to explore the human voice, particularly through creating metal stringed instruments that act as unique extensions of it. She is passionate about the intimate process of inventing, building, learning to play, and composing on original instruments as a means of weaving new sonic landscapes for her and her audience.
Paramax is an entity of Maxi Glenn's spanning sound installation, composition, and production. Their research has to do with somatic memory, channeled through the haptic threshold between sound and sub. Maxi currently repurposes DJ gear to disrupt norms of audio reproduction, altering the sense of space between sound source and listener.
