PELLYVISION
05.09.24
PELLYVISION is a monthly cohesion of sound and vision. Each episode features a musical performance and/or dj set from a different artist, which Alex Pelly visually accompanies by synthesizing live audio reactive video using a modular synthesizer and other analog technology.
Laura Shumate is an electronic musician and DJ based in Los Angeles. Her compositions transform commonplace sounds and compelling melodies into dissonant forms juxtaposed through sweeping drones. Through this approach, Shumate seeks to underline a perceptual imbalance from within the human condition, resetting this disproportion through the tactic of synthesis. The dissonant becomes harmonious, and sonics traditionally perceived as unwelcome become inviting and transcendent. Using modular and traditional synthesizers, samplers and drum machines, the outcome of her realization is one of complete immersion into an ecstatic realm of sound.
Alex Pelly is a Canadian video artist based in LA whose work incorporates multiple generations of video technology, both analog and digital. In recent years her process has been centered on modular video synthesis. Frequently collaborative with musical accompaniment, her visuals serve as a reflection of and muse to the music simultaneously. She provides live visuals and installation work for various shows, music nights and art happenings around Los Angeles.
