stories, ambient and sampled sounds. Brenda has worked as a video

in San Francisco, as an engineer and instructor at Harvestworks
in New York and as Senior Sound Designer for multi media company,
Convivial Design in San Francisco. Recordings of her work are
available through TELLUS, DEEP LISTENING -Oliveros Foundation,
THE AERIAL, and Leonardo Music Magazine. She was bon in Trenton,

ARTIST STATEMENT: It is important to me that the activities
of playing with and listening to sounds are an integral part of
daily experience and that this experience is accessible to anyone
who is interested in participating. The voice, found objects and
the ambient sound environment provide free, ever present, readily
available source material that anyone can use to make something
interesting. I also prefer to work with vocal, found, and ambient
sounds (as opposed to abstract electronic or instrumental sounds)
because of their associative properties, which provide another
layer of context in addition to the sounds themselves.
