[A little too theory-heavy for my taste, but some interesting ideas, and the piece sounds pretty good. -egg]

After completing her informal education in Berlin’s underground club scene, artist and musician Holly Herndon relocated to the Bay Area to pursue an MFA at Mills College’s esteemed music program. Now continuing her studies in computer-based music at Stanford, Herndon has an inquisitive approach to technology, finding common threads among often-divided disciplines and communities: electronic music, academia, the tech sector, and contemporary art. As a result, her work is not easily categorized, whether she’s composing music for brass ensembles or working on robotic sculptures with artist Conrad Shawcross, touring festivals in Europe or making dance music with heavily processed recordings of the human voice. This week, she released a 12″ entitled Chorus on RVNG Intl.
