Caloric

Hi! Dailen here! I like Blue Objects. 🌀 I've been about a million things, and right now I'm a musician, DJ, sound artist, researcher, educator, and third-space organizer! I think about spaces for people almost as much as I think about sounds, having helped create some local nice zones for people to connect in. Currently I'm running a tiny sound school that lives in a slightly-less-tiny collectively-run venue / sound-focused community center. They are @__clubclub__ and @pyxis.pvd , respectively. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ The slides you see now are things I've been doing or thinking about. Points of interest: [ Slide 2 ] : Some tools I'm using for the residency. Blue Objects are good luck. [ Slides 7 & 10 ]: I love "The Heat" by Toni Braxton [ Slide 13] : I've been looking into how instruments are built, with a keen interest in woodwinds! I've actually made a couple mangey flutes that I adore deeply. Technically a u-lock is kinda like a sideblown xun with a single tone hole. [ Slide 16] : I've been playing with how the apps we use everyday might be sound sources in performance or grotesque fonts of inspiration. I have a favorite IG glitch that continues to play the audio from an ad over anything you look at in the advertisers page. In that video I'm looking for fun rhythms and accompaniments.

Next Club:Research documentary: "808", (2015) "808 is a documentary film about the inspiring story of the Roland TR-808 drum machine. It's the tale of the birth of electronic music, and how one small machine changed the musical landscape forever... by accident." Club:Research is a monthly documentary series where we watch films that illuminate the past of electronic music and party culture from around the world. ++++++ Hearing is believing. 2.16.2026 // $0 - 30 // 8p (during club:club)

Movie tonight!!! :))) "SISTERS WITH TRANSISTORS is the remarkable untold story of electronic music's female pioneers, composers who embraced machines and their liberating technologies to utterly transform how we produce and listen to music today." Club:Research is a monthly documentary series where we watch films that illuminate the past of electronic music and party culture from around the world.

This year I learned that at their core humans are generally good. And by transitive property I must also be good, and by that same transitive property every person that I meet must be good as well. Lean into love and forgive yourself. The rest will follow. :)
