Slowspin

Slowspin / Zeerak Ahmed is a US-based Pakistani artist. She produces voice-based sculptures, meditative installations and uniquely fragile sound collages. With the release of her first EP, “Nightfall’s Reverie” (with Mooshymoo) in 2013, she became a formative member of the independent music community in Karachi, Pakistan. Slowspin has since developed a distinct sound practice grounded in North Indian classical vocal traditions, dream-folk, ambient and experimental electronic music.

Slowspin’s much awaited album, TALISMAN, out May 19th 2023, presents the spatial richness and complexity of the contemporary South Asian voice. The collaborative album hosts contributions from a stellar line up of NYC-based musicians including Shahzad Ismaily (executive producer), Grey Mcmurray (co-producer), Aaron Roche and Greg Fox. TALISMAN opens a world of Slowspin's uncanny and heart-wrenching refrains, delivering a balm for the migrant's journey into the unknown: the abyss of love, loss and longing.
