Opening the evening: Bryan Day is a sound artist, musical instrument inventor, and conceptual artist based in the SF Bay Area. Using scavenged electronics, repurposed mechanical components, and amplified materials, he re-imagines them into constructivist sound sculptures. Since the late-1990s he has built over a hundred sound object devices, from amplified measuring tape and hacked radio transceivers to electro-mechanical installations using magnets, hard drives, and pendulums. His recorded work ranges from noisy electroacoustic improvisation to drony minimalism and audio collage, which is showcased in his projects Euphotic, Collision Stories, and Seeded Plain. Day has performed, taught workshops, and built sound installations across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
