JD Zazie is an italian DJ, avant-turntablist and sound artist and curator based in Berlin. Coming from a DJ and radiophonic background JD Zazie has explored over the years different approaches of real-time manipulation on fixed recorded sound sources. Her live and recorded output works to redefine DJ and electroacoustic activities. As a solo performer, in small groups or large ensembles she moves in an area which is constantly stretching the borders of what is supposed to be DJ mixing, free improvisation and composed music. Intended as musical instruments CDjs, turntables and mixer are her tools to mix and create the specific sound-sources she plays – being mostly electronic music, electroacoustic music, musique concrète, field recordings and improvised music. The typology of the sound-sources varies from already existing audio publications and sound effects, to self recorded audio files – as drawn from live sets and also fieldrecordings – through to selected pre-mixed material. Juxtaposition, decontextualization, fragmentation, repetition, sonic texture, scratch and error are elements of the grammar adopted to relate, organize and rearrange the sound material. https://jdzazie.tumblr.com/
