C. Lavender Suarez is a multi-disciplinary sound artist, sound healing practitioner, and educator whose work spans live performance, recording, installations, videos, and workshops. She seeks to create an immersive aural landscape for the listener, an experience which is intensely physical, emotional, and ultimately cathartic. She has performed, lectured, and hosted workshops at The Guggenheim, Hirshhorn Museum, Issue Project Room, The Rubin Museum, MoMA PS1, The Stone, The Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Fridman Gallery, and RPI University, among other venues. She studied Deep Listening with its founder Pauline Oliveros while volunteering at The Deep Listening Institute. In 2016 she taught a 10-week class for children about the scientific and artistic aspects of sound. C. Lavender has albums and recordings featured on the labels Ecstatic Peace!, RVNG Intl, Primitive Languages, and Hot Releases. She is currently working on her third full-length album. Lavender released her debut wellness book, “Transcendent Waves: How Listening Shapes Our Creative Lives,” on Dec. 15, 2020. The book is pensive, informative, and filled with color; Its intricate artwork is illustrated by Alex Tults and inspired by old science textbooks of the 1970s and ‘80s. She lives in Brooklyn.
