Biography
C. Lavender is a Brooklyn, New York based multi-disciplinary sound artist, sound healing practitioner and educator whose work spans through live performance, recording, installations, videos, compositions and workshops. She seeks to create an immersive aural landscape for the listener, an experience which is intensely physical, emotional and ultimately cathartic as noted in a performance review from the Village Voice; "downright iconic, charged with meaning and transgression." C. Lavender has performed, lectured and hosted workshops at MoMA, The Guggenheim, Hirshhorn Museum, Issue Project Room, The Rubin Museum, The Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Fridman Gallery, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute among other venues. She studied Deep Listening with its founder Pauline Oliveros while volunteering at The Deep Listening Institute. In 2016 she created the full curriculum and was lead teacher for a ten-week/fifty hour class for children called "All Ears" about the science of sound. C. Lavender received the "Florasonic" sound art commission from Experimental Sound Studio in Chicago, IL and is a 2020 Pioneer Works music artist resident. C. Lavender has albums and recordings featured on the labels Ecstatic Peace!, RVNG Intl, Primitive Languages, and Hot Releases. Her third full-length album "Myth of Equilibrium" will be released in 2020.
