Dean Hurley, C. Lavender

For the 27th iteration of False Harmonics Pioneer Works is excited to present a evening of A/V performances by Dean Hurley and C. Lavender.

Dean Hurley is an American film sound designer and musician best known for his partnership with the late film director David Lynch. Hurley operated Lynch’s Asymmetrical Studio for a decade and a half, where he supervised the sound and music for an array of Lynch’s film projects, commercial work and albums.

Hurley’s work straddles the landscape between musical composition and atmospheric sound design. His unique sonic approach weaves tapestry-like collagescapes from ambient textures, tape loops, samples, comb-filtering, and more…with a live show that showcases his signature sonic atmospheres live to picture.

C. Lavender (Lavender Suarez) is an interdisciplinary sound artist, sound healing practitioner, and educator based in New York City. She is the author of "Transcendent Waves: How Listening Shapes Our Creative Lives," a contemplative artist’s workbook that explores how listening can spark creativity, foster self-awareness, and cultivate mindfulness. Bandcamp describes her music as having "curative powers," yet also being confrontational, "primed to change you whether or not you want it to."

C. Lavender has held three pivotal roles that closely align with her artistic practice: she served as the first sound design educator at the Museum of the Moving Image (NYC), managed the studio and archive of one of the largest private vintage synthesizer collections in the U.S., and assisted the late “Deep Listening” composer Pauline Oliveros.
