Concert by Madeline Puckette
Join us on the front lawn of the UAM for a free concert by singer, song writer and producer of electro/indie-pop genre music Madeline Puckette.
Madeline Puckette, electro-pop singer and producer, creates unique music based on her breathy vocal palate and solo music production techniques. With a long history of performing in punk genre bands while living in the Northwest, Puckette relocated to Southern California to study music technology at CalArts. She emerged in the LA electro-scene with a profound understanding of intonation and the science of sound. Much collaboration with major artists including Joachim Garraud and Sander Van Dorn have placed Madeline’s vocals seamlessly into popular club music. look for her latest releases at: www.myspace.com/madelinepuckette
