I’m pleased to announce that, accompanying the Sound Through Barriers exhibition of sound art, we have invited two acclaimed sound artists \/ musicians to give two performances in Fort Collins.

\nJeph Jerman<\/a> has a history in improvised experimental music stretching back over thirty-five years, having worked in such notable bands as Big Joey, Blowhole and his solo project Hands To. His practice is primarily about “what happens when we listen”, and his work towards this end frequently involves improvisations with found objects and installations of self-playing “systems” which could perhaps be described as sound sculpture or automatons. In his performances, he attempts to remove or lessen his control over his own actions, focussing attention on listening. (photo by R. Yau, used by permission)<\/small>

\nCheryl Leonard<\/a> is a composer, performer and instrument builder whose works investigate sounds, structures, and objects from the natural world. Leonard is fascinated by “subtle textures and intricacies in sounds not generally considered musical,” and her experimental music reveals and features these unique voices. Her instruments recall the work of Harry Partch in the visual beauty of their form, reminding us that an instrument is a hybrid of sculpture and tool.
