LFO, an intersection between quilts and synthesizers by Utah-based artists Mary Toscano and Andrew Rease Shaw. On exhibition at Material Gallery through March 8, this immersive installation presents Toscano’s intricate quilts with Shaw’s evocative soundscapes, blending visual and auditory dimensions into a cohesive experience.

  • In the world of music, LFO (low frequency oscillator) refers to a waveform that modulates parameters within a synthesizer, producing effects such as vibrato, tremolo, or other dynamic movements. These waveforms echo the geometric shapes found in traditional quilt patterns. This parallel between the visual language of quilting and the technical structure of sound synthesis sparked a conversation between Toscano and Shaw, inspiring the creation of the works in LFO.

Outstretched Hands, a work in progress documentary by director Jared Jones who will be joined by Matt Black, President and Founder of Utah Documentary Association.

  • SCREENING: Outstretched Hands Work-in-Progress Screening at Salt Lake Community College - Center for Arts and Media Screening Room 1575 South State Street Salt Lake City, UT, 84115

Valene MC shares about League One Volleyball Salt Lake home opener.

Val MC talks with producer Joseph Patel about the new Questlove doc, Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius), which debuted at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. "An examination of the life and legacy of Sly & The Family Stone — the groundbreaking band led by the charismatic and enigmatic Sly Stone — captures the band’s rise, reign, and subsequent fadeout while shedding light on the unseen burden that comes with success for Black artists in America."
