SLOWSPIN
Theresa May
About the artists:
Zeerak Ahmed / SLOWSPIN is a US-based Pakistani artist. Along with voice-based sculptures and meditative installations, she composes uniquely fragile sound collages. SLOWSPIN has a distinct sound practice grounded in Hindustaani classical vocal traditions, dream-folk, ambient and experimental electronic music. Poetry and melodies in her mother tongue(s)Urdu, Farsi, Purbi and Englishbuild new textural soundscapes.
SLOWSPIN's latest release is her collaborative album, TALISMAN. It includes contributions by NYC-based musicians Shahzad Ismaily (executive producer), Grey Mcmurray (co-producer), Aaron Roche and Greg Fox. The TALISMAN opens a world of SLOWSPIN's uncanny and heart-wrenching refrains, delivering a balm for the migrant's journey into the unknown: the abyss of love, loss and longing.

May (she/her) is a native of Shaker Heights, Ohio qne holds a Master of Music from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and a Bachelor of Music from the University of Dayton.

Theresa May is a champion of new music written for trumpet and has a passion for pushing musical boundaries in a way that is palatable and enjoyable. Eris DeJarnett, Jonathan Posthuma, and Shanyse Strickland are the three living composers featured in this program for trumpet and media. From the intriguing and calming fixed media aspects of DeJarnetts piece, to the classic modernistic energy of Posthumas newly commissioned work, to the haunting and energetic melodies of Stricklands piece, there is sure to be something for everyone in this performance.
