About the Show
Performances by sonic pioneer Pauline Oliveros and NYC electroacoustic band The Blow (also the curators of WOMANPRODUCER), preceded by a conversation between the artists on the topics of sound production, composition, and listening.
WOMANPRODUCER is a multi-platform archive of sonic innovators. Begun as the website www.womanproducer.com, the project expands this fall at National Sawdust into a series of live events, bringing together producers and technologists from across a range of musical genres and eras for conversations and performances. Each event will be documented with the aim of generating more materials to add to the ever growing body of information about sound creation and the diversity of artists contributing to the field. WOMANPRODUCER is curated by Melissa Dyne and Khaela Maricich of the NYC-based electronic duo, The Blow.
The Blow
The Blow is Melissa Dyne and Khaela Maricich. A shape-shifting entity, The Blow has taken various forms over time and manifests in an array of media, employing popular music as a vehicle for broader explorations. Operating between contexts and genres, the duo works with sound recording, performance, installation, writing and physical media, aiming to address and expand the limitations encountered within each framework. Their self-titled album The Blow, released in 2013, was listed among the top-ten songs of 2013 by New York Times, and was NPR music editor Bob Boilen’s #1 album of that year. They have been curating WOMANPRODUCER.com, an archive of female music producers, engineers and sonic innovators, since 2014. Their performances have been presented at The Wexner Center, The Kitchen, Artists Space, The Warhol Museum, On The Boards, and Portland Institute of Contemporary Art as well as in traditional music venues such as The Henry Fonda Theater, Great American Music Hall, Joe’s Pub and The Gramercy Theater. They live and work in New York City.
