SlowPitchSound is a celebrated turntable artist and award winning composer, mentor and explorer of sound and visuals, who experiments with a wide range of disciplines, styles and sounds in what he has dubbed as “sci-fi turntabilism”. Inspired by nature, outer space and dystopian sci-fi, his approach to making and presenting music includes turntabilism, live sampling, field recordings and live cinema.
SlowPitchSound’s solo audio/visual performance will be based around themes of nature using a turntable, looper, drum machine and video camera. During the performance, the audience will have a closeup view of SlowPitchSound's process projected on screen and will be able to watch his improvised compositions happen in real time. The performance will be narrated and will include live cinema that uses human made materials manipulated to mimic natural elements like water, insects or trees.
Embark on a sonic odyssey with SlowPitchSound, the creative alter ego of the musical virtuoso Cheldon Paterson. Hailing from Toronto Canada, SlowPitchSound is not just an artist but a boundary-pushing maestro, a mentor, and an intrepid explorer of the auditory realm. With a career spanning over two decades, he has become a luminary, earning accolades for his avant-garde contributions to the landscape of music.
SlowPitchSound's collaborative spirit has allowed him to transcend genres, working in the realms of electronic music, opera, jazz, classical, experimental theatre, and dance. His artistic voyage knows no borders, as he has dazzled audiences on stages across the globe—from Canada to Australia, USA, United Kingdom, Netherlands, France, Sweden and Taiwan.
His self-proclaimed "scifi-turntablism" isn't just a genre; it's an interstellar journey. Rooted in a profound connection to the natural world, outer space, and dystopian sci-fi, Cheldon's passion for depth and detail reverberates through his compositions.
Picture his turntable as a spaceship navigating the celestial expanse, samples as stardust manipulated by the sonic sorcerer, and field recordings as whispers from distant galaxies. SlowPitchSound's musical lexicon is a tapestry of unconventional textures, seamlessly woven together to create an auditory universe that transcends the ordinary.
