Madelyn (they/them, b. 1992, USA) is a socially-engaged interdisciplinary artist and educator based in Berlin, DE. Through sound, writing, somatics, and digital mediums, they explore themes of connection, hydrofeminism, queer ecology, biophilia, grief and the adjascent possible. Their work fosters a deeply collaborative spirit to subvert and re-construct the perceptual realm, voicing emergent patterns of interconnection. Their research-intensive approach to practice balances play with scholarship, positioning them at the fringe of both DIY communities and academia.
Madelyn holds a Masters in Neuroaesthetics from Goldsmiths, University of London, where they researched the impact of collaborative imagination on measures of connection and hope in social praxis art. They currently teach sonic worldbuilding theory + music production courses online with Soundial and in-person at Kwia in Berlin. Madelyn is the co-founder of Gravity Pleasure, a record label and event series that highlights the intersection of hydrofeminism and queer ecology with music and workshops by women, trans, and non-binary artists. As “Chimera,” a duo with collaborator Lou Croff Blake, they embark on projects that push the boundaries around what it means to be a citizen of Earth, merging artistic embodied experiments with science and fantasy. In 2025, duo’s speculative worlding manifests in projects at AADK's Cruce program (funded by The Goethe Institute’s Culture Moves Europe grant) and School of Commons’ peer learning program (located at Zürich University of the Arts).
Slowfoam is the genre-defying moniker. Slowfoam amalgamates material sources -- electroacoustics, found drones, spoken word, field recording, and sound design -- into speculative relics from the aqueous deep. They have performed and toured extensively, including recent performances at Subbacultcha (NL), Cafe Oto (London), The Lab (San Francisco), Morse (Tokyo), and Morphine Raum (Berlin). Their discography has been published with Somewhere Press, Mappa, Lillerne Tapes, and Jungle Gym Records. Their work has yielded features on Bandcamp, Electronic Sound Mag, DJ Mag, First Impressions, Pitchfork, Boomkat, The Wire Magazine, and Futurism Restated.
