Jamie Pawloski is fivepaw, an ever-expanding musical sphere. His music is always moving, constantly evolving, even at its most still and serene. There’s a sense of harmony and richness to it even when it spirals out toward the edge of chaos. Like the universe itself, it is finite, but boundless.
Pawloski’s career in music began as a guitarist playing with post-punk and art-rock bands. In 2016, after playing with Shapes of Future Frames, Pawloski launched fivepaw. The project grew out of his interest in audio software and building modular synthesizers, as well as his studies in psychoacoustics at UC San Diego under the instruction of Tom Erbe (Soundhack) and Miller Pucket (MAX/MSP). This new direction launched as more of an academic pursuit of textural experiments—largely inspired by the minimalist composition of Terry Riley and Steve Reich—in short order it evolved into something more animated and dynamic, and tailored to the live stage. Whether building an immersive, droning atmosphere while face down in the matrix of cables before him, or collaborating with a live drummer to give the music more urgency and immediacy, fivepaw went through another stage of evolution, from soundscape to physical presence.
As fivepaw moves forward, Pawloski has only further pursued a richer and more expansive exploration of his music’s potential, from its most abstract and abrasive elements to a fuller realization of the pop potential that always existed within it.
