Bio
Kristina Warren is a sound artist, composer, performer, and instrument builder based on Wampanoag and Narragansett land
also known as Providence, Rhode Island [US]. Both in solo projects and in collaborative work including curating, Warren believes
that collective listening is a precious and political act. Warren uses self-designed and received audio tools to create
performances, installations, and recorded works, whose recent “ASMR drone” style uses quieter volumes and careful
orchestrations to help audiences perceive their own listening. Called “precise and unpredictable”
(Marc Masters, Bandcamp)
and “a combination of the synthetic and the fuzzy with the deeply human”
(Brian McCorkle, Jazz Right Now),
work by
Warren has been presented internationally at venues including Spektrum [DE], Studio Loos [NL], The Bluecoat [UK],
Espace des arts sans frontières [FR], Espacios Sonoros [AR], Radiophrenia [UK], Musik Akademie Basel [CH], Experimental
Sound Studio (Chicago, US), Rhizome (DC, US), and the MIT Spatial Sound Lab (Cambridge, US). Warren's Spring 2023 EU tour
includes events in Wien, Graz, Den Haag, Stockholm, and more. Recently a Visiting Assistant Professor of Electronic Music
& Multimedia (Brown University, 2017-21), Warren holds a PhD in Composition and Computer Technologies (University of
Virginia, 2017) and a BA in Music Composition (Duke University, 2011).
