bio
Jazmine Jendersee, also known as jaz or jazmycelium, is an experimental vocalist and soundperformance creator. Ve have sang in a large variety of performances at the California Institute of the Arts, where ve are pursuing a BFA in Voicearts under the tutelage of Jacqueline Bobak, Carmina Escobar, Micaela Tobin and many more affluent creators.
Vaer debut single “Whining Girl Rave” came out October 2023 followed by a full length album titled “False Awakening Loop”. The solo project uses voice and electronics to explore the subconscious, employs catharsis through noise and healing through silliness with a DIY, imperfectionist approach.
Vaer recent projects include director Chi-Wang Yang’s multi-media production of Kurt Weill’s The Seven Deadly Sins singing as a “The Virtue of Temperance”, as well as in Calarts’ Contemporary Vocal Ensemble singing music by Meredith Monk, John Cage, and jaz’s own original composition “New Rug Socks”.
Ve are working on another original composition for the 2024 season of the N.E.O. Festival in Los Angeles, an archival installation of experimental vocalists to be shown at Calarts fall 2024, and an independent EP of 30-minute solo voice improvisations, field recorded in juxtaposed locations of vaer hometowns in Minnesota and vaer current home-base of LA.
