Chance (they/them) is a queer sound artist/engineer with a penchant for punk and pop music. They started out making experimental sound art in Oberlin Conservatory’s TIMARA department, and then began recording any college band willing to trust them, before finally ending up in the professional studios of Philadelphia. Adjacent to their refusal of the binary gender scale, Chance also refuses to abide by a binary concept of experimental and pop music. They are ever fascinated with the ways these worlds collide in the studio, & believe making a record should be a deeply fun sonic exploration/collaboration between artist and engineer.
Chance has recently worked with Adult Mom, corey flood, and American Trappist. When they’re not in the studio, they are smashing gender- and accessibility-based barriers to entry in music/audio via their work with Girls Rock Philly and as a founding member of the Sound Museum Collective (@soundmuseumcollective). & when they’re not doing that they’re probably creating music for their band LUNCH or making some truly bizarre bedroom pop multimedia zine installation
