Carolyn Zaldivar Snow (she/her) is a writer and artist based in Baltimore, exploring sound and collective memory. Her installations repurpose obsolete technology—such as telephones, cassette players, and typewriters—into new vessels for digital soundscapes. Working under the project name Tangent Universes, Carolyn creates immersive sound environments using modular synths, guitar drones, noise boxes, field recordings, and hydrophones. Her work reflects her Mid-Atlantic context and has been showcased at the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, as well as at Philadelphia’s Passages, Velocities, and DC’s Rhizome. Her pieces have been featured on labels such as Mystery Circles (Las Vegas, Nevada) and Hyle Tapes (Paris, France). Carolyn performs with the experimental quadraphonic trio Wooder, alongside Aaron Igler and Eugene Lew. In addition to her artistic practice, Carolyn is a freelance writer at Tape Op magazine, and contributes to editorial and label project management at Mystery Circles. She is co-organizer of DC’s Sound Scene Audio Arts Festival and has taught at American University’s Expanded Media Studio and Rhizome’s Youth Electronic Workshop.
