I’m Chel, widely known as SlowPitchSound. I am an award winning Toronto-based composer, mentor, and explorer of sound & visuals with over two decades of experience. I have collaborated with brilliant creators from a wide range of disciplines including opera, jazz, classical, electronic music, theatre and dance. My unique style of music production, self proclaimed as “scifi-turntablism”, has been on stages around the world including Canada, Australia, USA, United Kingdom, France, Sweden and Taiwan. With a passion for depth and detail in my work, I am heavily inspired by nature, outer space, and dystopian sci-fi. My approach to making and presenting music includes turntablism, live sampling, field recordings and live cinema.

Here’s a quick summary of my artform:

There’s a clear division between experimental turntablism and hip hop turntablism, each with its own distinct aesthetics and rules. I navigate somewhere in between, not adhering  to either a distinct style or aesthetic.
