Dora Award winning Sci-Fi turntablist SlowPitchSound presents a multi-sensory performance that highlights the importance of the natural world. Created in partnership with Bad New Days
About Performance
SlowPitchSound’s otherworldly environmentally focused adventure Within Touch is an audio/visual performance that features a unique style of musical making, which mirrors the incredible unfurling of the natural world.
Within Touch is a multi-sensory show, combining music and visual projections to highlight the importance of nature. The piece is performed using a turntable, looper, drum machine, and video camera.
During pre-show there is a brief group activity followed by a short introduction.
During the performance, the audience will have a closeup view of SlowPitchSound’s (Chel Paterson’s) process of storytelling projected on screen. You will witness improvised music and visual compositions created in a very unique way, an art form that SlowPitchSound has been developing for over two decades, which he calls “Sci-fi Turntablism”.
