Artist
Lesley Flanigan is a New York based artist/vocalist who sculpts electronic music by hand, using an orchestrated mix of sounds that originate entirely from the acoustics of live feedback and voice. Out of deliberate choreography of motion and improvised layering of sound, Flanigan’s melodies emerge to reflect interrelations between noise, amplification, speakers, and the human voice. Flanigan plays speaker feedback using handcrafted, wooden speaker instruments. One by one, she samples tones and rhythms from these instruments, blending raw sounds of electricity with the warmth of her voice. In addition to her solo work with speaker electronics and voice, Flanigan also performs as part of Bioluminescence, a collaboration with R. Luke DuBois that explores the modality of human voice through live sound and video processing; and she performs regularly as a guest member of the Loud Objects, the noise group that set the standard for live circuit bending.
