Beyond extended vocal technique, Charmaine uses amplification, electroacoustic feedback, and microphones to augment and distort the voice. She has performed with leading improvisers Nate Wooley, id m theft able, and Joe Morris, and maintains ongoing collaborations with contemporaries Lester St. Louis, Conrad Tao, Zach Rowden, and Leila Bordreuil. She is currently an Artist in Residence at ISSUE Project Room (2019). As a composer, Charmaine has been commissioned by the Wet Ink Ensemble (2018), and Spektral Quartet (2018).

CSS064: ROSA ANSCHÜTZ DJ SET
Rosa Anschütz is a transmedia artist, composer and vocalist based between Vienna and Berlin. In her music she is using various electronics and instruments digital and analogue. Her Debut EP “Rigid” is out now on Quiet Love Records. Rigid is a personal EP. It’s a patchwork made of daily notes, dreams, nightmares and loose ruminations on life – stitched together with analog synths and thick, cavernous reverbs. It’s also a great example of the type of music that humanises the sounds of machines, in many ways harking back to the beginning of electronica, although nothing outside of the actual feel is vintage here. The production is warm, fleshy, with carefully sculpted spaces. The vocals are mesmeric, oscillating between spoken word, singing and "voice as strings".

Our mission is constantly evolving as we strive to integrate programs with collaborators and residents. To cultivate music as sound and to introduce new music breaking genres.
Cultivated Sound is an interdisciplinary platform where artists from all art forms collaborate and have the ability to join the programs we offer, we exercise collaboration, experimentation, and boundary pushing paradigms of artist output alongside local artists to expand their practice.
Our aim is to facilitate cross-cultural, multi-vocal dialogue creating opportunities for future cooperation and to provide a supportive, inspiring environment for new experiences within the musical environs of the New York underground electronic music scene.
WE ARE DEDICATED — DRIVING WHAT’S NEXT.
︎ HISTORY
Cultivated Sound has been throwing parties in Brooklyn since 2015. Our roots in techno were our foundation as we focused on forward-thinking club experiences that linked music, fashion, art, and video. We revealed new perspectives on established artists & those breaking through to promote a unique vision of what dance music and club culture can be. Cultivated Sound existed to inspire audiences and build towards the shared flourishing of the music scene at home and abroad.
