Process, Production, Pedagogy

Suzi Analog, music professor at UNC, prolific producer, songwriter, composer, founder of Never Normal Records, is based in Miami, FL. Her work pioneers the new wave of women producers in electronic music and beyond. Her recent project commissioned by Alfreda Cinema and Brooklyn Academy of Music, BY ANY MEANZ SONICALLY, is a live electronic score set to a visual montage highlighting profound influence of Black women in electronic dance music, tracing their impact from the early roots in jazz and rhythm & blues to the global prominence of dance music today. The rich textures and rhythms created are both an homage to and extension of the legacies of those who paved the way, from the Afro-futurist soundscapes of artists like Sylvia Robinson to the avant-garde and spiritual experimentation of Alice Coltrane. Suzi will present her work as producer, educator, and cultural shape shifter.
