Slauson Malone 1, the performance art moniker of artist and musician Jasper Marsalis, explores the possible intersections of popular music and performance art; has penned beats for the likes of Pink Siifu and Nick Hakim; and has created his own unique output, mixing sampling with virtuous guitar playing over carefully devised and deconstructed pop structures. Bearer of the Marsalis name and legacy, Jasper is still very much trailing a path of his own, while steering away from the obvious jazz direction that runs in the family without completely ignoring it.
