Holly Herndon

HOLLY HERNDON IN CONCERT:Avant-garde electronic composer Holly Herndon creates cerebral sample-based music that uses her voice, the mechanical noises of her computer, and even the sounds of her internet browsing activity as the nucleus for her technophilic sound world. In concert she masterfully recreates her intricate, textured songs through live laptop manipulation and ethereal vocal processing, taking ticket buyers on a jaw-dropping journey to the pinnacle of sonic possibility. Herndon is dedicated to making a music of "now", and her painstakingly crafted compositions -- a blend of both organic and artificial sounds -- perfectly encapsulate the blurred boundaries of life in the digital age. It's thought-provoking stuff to be sure, but it's also visceral -- from the skittering scrapes and slices of "Interference" to the hauntingly beautiful layered vocals of "Chorus", Herndon's dynamic live shows appeal equally to the mind and body.
