Varispeed_7

​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.

​​varispeed_2 is a long-form remix EP to inspire durational modes of listening. It’s based on the tone-maps I heard while mixing 8-hour raves, where individual tracks dissolved into a slowly evolving cloud of tone and timbre. This project is a compositional reflection of that experience+the way I listen.

​Each track is extended until lyric, rhythm, and harmony sit just beyond recognition. These remixes invite the listener to sink inward, stripping songs of their familiar beacons of form. What else do we hear when a track avoids clarity? What exists inside the digital rendering of studio production? As a counterpoint to the accelerated speed and sonic pressure of today’s music, varispeed_2 is an invitation to listen slowly.

​Enjoy—and come listen together on 11/30 for varispeed_7 💕

​As always, tickets will be pay what you can. Proceeds go directly to Palestinian families and families affected by ICE kidnappings.
