///PAMELA Z : PERFORMANCE, SOUND ART & MUSIC

Pamela Z is a San Francisco-based composer/performer and audio artist who works primarily with voice, live electronic processing, and sampling technology. In performance, she creates layered works combining operatic bel canto and experimental extended vocal techniques with a battery of digital delays, found percussion objects, spoken word, and sampled concrete sounds triggered with an MIDI controller called The BodySynth, which allows her to manipulate sound with physical gestures. She has toured extensively throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan. Her large-scale, multi-media performance works, Parts of Speech and Gaijin, have been presented at Theater Artaud in San Francisco, and her audio works have been included in exhibitions at the Whitney Museum in New York and Erzbischofliches Diozesanmuseum in Cologne, Germany.
