This new work by internationaly renowned composer Pamela Z uses the rhythms of labor and the musicality of the human voice to explore the sounds of work. 

Listeners will be immersed in a tapestry of sound from Berlin workspaces- from the rhythmic strike of knives on cutting boards and the mechanical whir of sewing machines, to the industrial thrum of factory floors and Gutenberg printing presses. Field recordings and interview fragments are layered over processed vocals and instrumentation, creating a music of voices and noises.

Pamela Z will perform her work each night, using custom MIDI controllers that allow her to manipulate sound live, in real-time.

golden lionheart collier is a self-taught transdisciplinary polymath, researcher, and sound nerd whose praxis unearths and honors diasporic wisdoms that defy static or linear narratives. Grounded in a polymathic exploration of kindred transatlantic perspectives, their research harnesses ancestral movement, performance, print media, lens-based works, sonic art, interactive facilitation, new media installation, and more. Ultimately, they are most inspired by the power of open research and the verdant fecundity where disciplines, practices, and communities overlap.

Recently, they’ve been a featured artist for Visual Arts Journal, awarded the CODEX International Biennial Research Scholarship, and are a 2025 MacDowell Fellow.
