THIS IS AN IN-PERSON SHOW
Pamela Z’s performance evenings combine live electronic processing, sampled sound, and rear-projected video to create a spectacular multi-medium event. A pioneer of live digital looping techniques—Pamela Z’s processes her voice in real time to create dense, complex sonic layers—allowing her to manipulate sound with physical gestures. In her practice she uses MAX MSP and Isadora software on a MacBook Pro along with custom MIDI controllers that allow her to manipulate sound and image with physical gestures. Her live works combine experimental extended vocal techniques, operatic bel canto, found objects, text, and sampled concrète sounds. This is Pamela Z’s first performance at On the Boards.
