Zeerak Ahmed / SLOWSPIN is a US-based Pakistani artist. She produces voice-based sculptures, meditative installations and uniquely fragile sound collages that explore notions of identity, memory and longing. Slowspin has a distinct sound practice grounded in Hindustaani classical vocal traditions, dream-folk, ambient and experimental electronic music. Poetry and melodies in her mother tongue(s)—Urdu, Farsi, Purbi and English—build new textural soundscapes.

She is presently archiving the sonic and intellectual histories of female folk music traditions from South Asia, drawing new visual forms from the poetic and melodic content of her ancestral body of sound. Exploring new ways of listening, composing, and performing the sounding body, her work addresses critical immaterial art. Read more on Last.fm.
