Musician and artist Jason Sanford will discuss the importance of listening to the materials with which one works, and how attending to the voices of objects and situations has affected his work over the years. Join us for this Art Science Talks @ Le Lab on Wednesday, April 19. Doors open at 6pm, and the talk starts at 6:30pm.


Jason Sidney Sanford is an artist working to synthesize the realms of the sonic and the somatic. Trained in sculpture and performance art, for more than twenty years he has been innovating and inventing new musical instruments and using them to perform with his band, Neptune. In early 2017, he toured ten countries in Europe, playing 35 shows in 40 days, with his newer band project, E, to support their recently released and critically acclaimed debut album (available on Thrill Jockey Records.) He also appears frequently with the sound and dance collaborative ensemble, Sliver Foxes, which he co-founded. Sliver Foxes works to dissolve the distinction between musician and dancer by engaging movement-participants with Sanford’s sound-scupture instruments and installations. Sanford has performed in museums and galleries, in music venues, in loft spaces, in squats, on boats, and even in a moving bus. He has also taught sound and electronics for artists at the Massachusetts College of Art, the Rhode Island School of Design, and the Cambridge Center for Adult Education. After releasing eleven albums, and years of touring the U.S. and Europe, he continues to question what music is, and what it is for.
