Shannon Soundquist

Shannon Soundquist plays Mental Tekno and Industrial Tekno between 145 and 165 bpm. She creates dark, punchy, rusty atmospheres and grounds them in an earthy and psychedelic way. Her way of DJ-ing is very concentrated, sending the crowd on a trip guided by warm hard kicks.
She also performs conceptual Ambient live-sets, which are cinematic, dark, noisy, non-tonal and body-related. In her Sound Design she includes several representations of the body, like breath and voice together with poetic texts. Her research question in the field of sound is: How can I morph body-sound into abstract electronic sound and back? How does it feel at the margin of understandability? What does it have to do with my analogue gear?
