Pamela Z is a composer/​performer and media artist who works primarily with voice, live electronic processing, sampled sound, and video. A pioneer of live digital looping techniques, she processes her voice in real time to create dense, complex sonic layers. Her solo works combine experimental extended vocal techniques, operatic bel canto, found objects, text, digital processing, and wireless MIDI controllers that allow her to manipulate sound with physical gestures.A Penny Stamps Speaker Series event in partnership with U of M School of Music, Theatre & Dance, cour­tesy of the William Bol­com Guest Res­i­dency. | PBS Books
