John Kannenberg creates quietly reflective works in both image and sound that blur the boundaries between intention and accident. Incorporating techniques derived from free improvisation, musical composition, field drawing, minimalism, cubism and abstract expressionism in their construction, his works deal with a variety of themes including primal natural forces, spirituality and mindful contemplation, melancholy and nostalgia, abstracted narratives, and the confluence of sonic and visual art. John's work has been presented in the United States, Europe and Australia, including appearances at the FILE 2007 conference in Rio De Janeiro, the 2006 Soundwalk festival in Long Beach, the 2005 John Cage Musicircus at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, the 2005 so.cal.sonic festival in Long Beach, the 2004 International Symposium on Electronic Art in Tallinn, the 2004 Biennale of Electronic Arts in Perth, the 2003 Placard Festival in New York, the 2002 MAXIS festival in Sheffield, the 2001 Outer Ear festival in Chicago, and several broadcast appearances on Resonance 104.4 FM in London. He has released recordings on the Crouton, Topscore, Grain of Sound, Retinascan, Earlabs, Cohort and Why Not LTD labels, and has been a co-presenter of the Something Else radio program on WLUW 88.7 FM in Chicago.
