About — Elaine Carey

Hello! I am Elaine Carey (Haswell), a Los Angeles-based, North Carolina-born production designer and experimental musician.

I initially ventured into the art department through a college internship at The Onion and my production work continues to pertain largely to comedy. I am a member of the Art Director’s Guild (IATSE Local 800) and I’ve contributed production design to three seasons of Emmy-winning Netflix sketch show phenomenon I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson, Adult Swim’s surrealistic Infomercials, and all variety of other productions, including ad campaigns, TV specials, music videos, and independent films.

As a sound artist, I have a propensity for free improvisation. Sonic expression in electroacoustic noise duo telecaves (with Juliette Amoroso, 2013-2020) expanded into international solo performances and collaborations with such diverse and prominent acts as LAFMS supergroup Extended Organ, psych rock outfit Pink Mountaintops, indie luminaries Xiu Xiu, Tara Jane O’Neil, and Carla Bozulich, and noise giant Carlos Giffoni (as Rogue Squares, since 2017). I’ve recently scored two short films and I’m currently arranging my first solo LP.

In the last decade, I have exhibited visual art, installation, live performance, or some combination thereof in community spaces like Coaxial Arts , The Elysian Theater, and Human Resources as well as in more widely known institutions including Hauser & Wirth and the Hammer Museum.

I am a proud member of the intersectional worldwide LGBTQ+ community, a vegetarian, and companion to an 11-year-old rabbit.
