Introducing scifi-Turntablist: SlowPitchSound

Picture
SlowPitchSound (Cheldon Paterson) is an award winning Toronto-based artist, composer, mentor, and explorer of sounds. He has collaborated with creators from a wide range of disciplines including electronic music, opera, jazz, classical music, theatre, and dance. He has been developing his craft for over two decades. His unique style of music production, self-proclaimed as "scifi-turntablism", has graced stages around the world including Canada, Australia, USA, United Kingdom, and Sweden. With a passion for depth and detail in his work, Cheldon is heavily inspired by the natural environment, outer space, and dystopian sci-fi. Cheldon’s unique approach to making music includes turntablism, sample manipulation, and field recordings.

Above: During lockdowns in 2020, SlowPitch created a masterful performance dedicated to Trees. The performance was designed, filmed and directed by SlowPitchSound himself in his living room. Fun fact: A species of fig tree known as the Banyan can only be pollinated by a unique species of very tiny wasps. The entire process is pretty incredible and almost unbelievable.

Above: live improvisation excerpt. This point of view is what the audience will see projected on screen for an intimate live action view of SlowPitchSound's process. In this video SlowPitchSound manipulates a Vallue Village found record, loops segments live and adjusts levels on the fly. A master of his craft, dancing with his instruments.

Excerpt from SlowPitchSound's audio visual adventure "Alternate Forest". There is always an element of surprise with every performance.
