Mutualism: Landscapes From Scratch
SlowPitchSound and Mo:delic Arts present: Mutualism - Landscapes from Scratch.
Mutualism: Landscapes From Scratch is an educational performance for all ages that includes spoken word and visuals related to the natural environment.
Experimental turntablist/beat-maker SlowPitchSound and visual artist Mo:delic Arts explore the idea of a symbiotic relationship between sound and visuals, sharing their process live with a series of improvisations that combine their unique styles.
Musically: Compositions are created live using a turntable as a means of repurposing samples from records as well as improvising with various electronics to create other worldly soundscapes and rhythms. Important Information about nature is also scratched and manipulated throughout.
Visually: Paper cutouts and other materials are arranged live using a turntable platter as a stage for the live collages projected on screen.

Sound and Direction by: SlowPitchSound:
SlowPitchSound (Cheldon Paterson) is an award winning Toronto-based composer, mentor, and explorer of sound & visuals with over 20 years of experience. He has collaborated with creators from a wide range of disciplines including opera, jazz, classical, electronic music, theatre and dance. 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 nature, outer space, and dystopian sci-fi. Cheldon’s unique approach to making music includes turntablism, sample manipulation, and field recordings. Making a shift into the world of live theatre, Cheldon has been nominated for a 2022 DORA award for Outstanding Sound Design / Composition, and has a collective win for Outstanding Production with "Italian Mime Suicide". Produced by Bad New Days. Cheldon has also composed music for the TIFF Peoples Choice award winning documentary "Black Ice" by Oscar nominated director Hubert Davis.
"To marry such a range in sounds smoothly is no small feat, but SlowPitchSound's skill-set incorporate the playfulness of jazz and the world-building of science fiction." - Exclaim!
"There is something transporting about a turntable. “The turntable taps into your brain in a whole other way, because the sounds you’re playing with are almost limitless: They’re whatever sound exists on Earth,” Paterson declares." - MusicWorks Magazine /COVER STORY

Live visuals by: Mo:delic Arts:
Mo:delic Arts is the brainchild of Vanese Smith. Creating and performing electronic music as Pursuit Grooves, Vanese began Mo:delic Arts in 2015 as the visual component of her performance and merchandising.
Inspired by geometric shapes, psychedelia, fantasy, nature, and architecture, Vanese uses collage, illustration, photography and digital tools to create pattern/fabric design and experimental live visuals for herself and other live performers. Recent visual projections include presentations at the Music Gallery and NUMUS concerts.
