On Sunday, September 15th at 9pm, Carnacki hosts composer, performer and sound artist, Julie Herndon, for a live in-studio interview ahead of her performance at The Lab on September 21st for this year’s SF Electronic Music Festival.
Herndon explores the body’s relationship to sound by using tools like musical instruments and personal technologies. Her electro-acoustic work has been described as “truly brilliant” (Kulturpunkt) and “blended to inhabit a surprisingly expressive space” (San Francisco Classical Voice).
Julie is currently Assistant Professor of Music Technology and Composition at California Polytechnic State University. She previously taught composition and electronic music production techniques at San Francisco Conservatory of Music (SFCM) and the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford. She holds a DMA in music composition from Stanford University, MA in music composition from Mills College, and BA from St. Mary’s College of Maryland.
Her writing, “Embodied Composition: Composing the Body with Sound” can be found in Leonardo with MIT Press. Her work can be found on the labels Infrequent Seams, pan y rosas discos, and Innova Records.
