I'm finally sharing my thesis at Gradex 111, my culminating body of work from nearly 6 years at OCAD University.
"Would You Still Love Me if I were a Worm" is an audio-visual nervous system driven by living earthworms in real time. Sensors in a vermicompost habitat translate data representative of an intangible underground world into a tangible human experience through light, animation, and hardware musical synthesis played back on my hand built soundsystem; The Big Worm.
Come let some worms serenade you on opening night: May 6 - 6-11pm room 364.
What can a worm do for you?
Shapeshifter out on bandcamp. Sprinkles of techno, club, leftfield, and electro. Some metaphorical thoughts behind an idea of a "shapeshifter". Self released. Enjoy 🔊💥
T1 - The Body From Which a Vessel to Observe
T2 - Every Fleeting Thought
T3 - Shapeshifter
Join us on Friday, May 29th for CC’s 3 year anniversary bash at the renowned @rhythm__space (141 Bathurst Street)! It’s gonna be a cheeky night of celebrating memories and music, throwing it down with local forces @martinses , @samuelwasserman , and Montreal legend @lia_plutonic
We can’t believe it’s been 3 years since the first party at Carbonic Coffee. What started as Club Carbonic quickly grew into CC, alongside an open-minded community we’re truly blessed to be part of. This one’s gonna hit close to home, bringing in all flavours of groove and energy for the proper spring weather send-off.
Tickets available on RA - link in bio.
Dress to dance, bring the homies!
Worms = musicians? 🪱🎶🤔
Would You Still Love Me If I Were a Worm? by Samuel Wasserman (@samuelwasserman / @earthworm.underground ) is an audiovisual installation where live worms control light, animation, and sound in real time – translating the underground into something you can feel.
Come experience it (and hundreds of other works) at GradEx 111, Toronto’s largest FREE art and design exhibition. It’s all happening May 6-10 at OCAD University – 100 + 115 McCaul St. Plan your visit through our link in bio (ocadu.ca/gradex)

Behold! The Big Worm.
A unique, sealed bi-resistive sub sporting an 18" cone, a horn loaded 10" lower-midrange enclosure, and a vintage Altec theatre horn sealed in a rubberized anti-resonant coating, culminating harmoniously to deliver an airy top end, a warm punchy midrange, and a tight and articulate low frequency response. All schemed, designed, and executed in-house (most literally; my living room) over the past 6 months (minus the Altec, of course).
What can a large worm do for you?

Keith Tucker 🎯 March 7 at Bambi's
@keith_tucker_k1 is a DJ's DJ. Described by DJ Stingray as his unsung hero, Tucker's reputation as a seminal force is as steadfast as his catalogs are deep and diverse. Tucker, a founding member of Aux88, has released music independently under many aliases including Optic Nerve, Alien FM, and DJ K1, spanning otherworldly techno and pure motor city electro funk. But on March 7, Keith Tucker takes control at @bambistoronto 's with something special for the grotto freaks.
@999_adj and @samuelwasserman round out the bill on support duties as lovers of all things Detroit.

I'm so excited to invite Chicago-based artist, DJ, and community programmer @zagczagczagc to @soundsgoodtoronto on Dec 6 for an all night get down in a fluid state of club, techno, and everything in between. Local club purveyors @meagerbeaver and myself will join the bill on support duty. Condense into liquid with us.
@zagczagczagc and I played a renegade together back in Michigan this past summer where I stumbled into his work. It was easily one of the best sets I've heard, genre-bending anything from jazz to techno, condensing into a fluid state of movement friendly euphoria.
Tickets on RA (this is my first time doing a solo promotion, your support would mean the world <3)
