VLF Feminization

by Cassiopeia Sturm

supported by

Helena Ford Sturm's Feminization Exercises are the next logical extension of extended vocal techniques a la Joan La Barbara and Meredith Monk, with the subtle modulations of her instrument acting as a type of glossolalia. However, what really sets Sturm's work as her own is unrelated to her gender, but lies in her sheer talent and ingenuity that sets her apart from any composer in the modern era. Favorite track: VLF Feminization - 1.

about

VLF Feminization is an album about:
Voices - musical, alien, illusory, electronic, transgender
and
Sferics - Sounds extracted from our atmosphere using a VLF receiver.

It is a series of experiments extracting voices from sounds recorded on a VLF receiver. It was inspired by my fascination with vocal synthesis and auditory pareidolia, and my own experience transitioning and dealing with voice dysphoria. By animating these voices I attempt to create a new atmospheric voice of my own.

about

Cassiopeia Sturm Los Angeles, California

Cassiopeia Sturm builds instruments that have silly names and serious stories. Sometimes she composes for them and sometimes she improvises on them. Her work is inspired by cryptids, physics simulations, old boxes, bad robots, evolutionary biology, ghost stories, and space. When she isn’t building instruments she’s out hunting for bigfoot.
