Bio
Julie Herndon
Julie Herndon is a composer, performer, and sound artist exploring the body’s relationship to sound. Her electroacoustic work has been described as “truly brilliant and utterly affected” (Kulturpunkt), “like a signal from another world” (Tages-Anzeiger), and “blended to inhabit a surprisingly expressive space” (SFCV). Her compositions and installations have been presented at MATA Festival and National Sawdust in New York, Artistry Space in Singapore, Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Oaxaca in Mexico, Music Biennale Zagreb, Sogar Theater in Zurich, and by Forest Collective in Australia. Julie is currently Assistant Professor of Music Technology and Composition at California Polytechnic State University.
Sylvia Hinz
Praised for her equally intense and boldly dramatic performance style, Sylvia Hinz is one of the world’s leading recorder players, specialising in contemporary music & improvisation.
In addition to intensive sound research for the instrument recorder, Hinz breaks new ground with the combination of sound, electronics & video art, and works with international composers. She studied recorder, experimental and chamber music in Berlin, and ensemble conducting in Trossingen.
Sylvia Hinz curates & performs solo programmes & concerts with ensembles and orchestras, loves unusual instrumentations & collaborations, promotes international collaborations. Her most recent interdisciplinary works engage in dialogue with art by Ana Mendieta and Francesca Woodman.
