About Steph Patsula

Steph Patsula (b. 1988, CA/US) is an interdisciplinary artist best known for their work investigating the dynamic between autonomy and intimacy within human and non-human relationships. Patsula’s research is grounded in live performance, which embraces the unpredictable dynamics of working with materials, spaces, and bodies via improvisation–a process that reflects a personal desire for mutualism through attentiveness to a range of sensory thresholds. Their performances and installations have been presented at the Experimental Sound Studio (US), Elastic Arts (US), Gallerí Úthverfa / Outvert Art Space (IS), Mile Zero Dance (CA), New Music Edmonton (CA), and Capture Photography Festival (CA), among others.

About Soft Noise Skill Share

The Soft Noise Skillshare is a series of bimonthly workshops highlighting women, trans, and non-binary sound artists and practitioners. These events, aimed at demystifying the sound-making process and addressing barriers to entry in the audio fields, are open to all skill levels and experience, ranging from absolute beginner to professional.

Soft Noise Skillshares encourage inquiry, exchange, improvisation, and play for all in attendance in order to demystify the sound production process and address barriers to entry in the audio field for those who do not identify as cis-gendered male. With input from community members, curatorMeredith Haines is bringing together women, non-binary, and transgendered hosts from many corners of sound, such as field recording, DAW operation, hardware hacking, synthesis, and more.
