:: Jeph Jerman
In 1986 i began recording and performing under the name hands
to. most of the early soundwork was sampler and tape loop
based, though over the course of ten years it evolved into using
environmental recordings with very little to no manipulation or
electronic processing.
in 1996 in seattle i embarked upon a weekly series
of concerts at anomalous
records which brought me into contact with the city's improvised
music community. for the next three years i played with anyone who
would have me. during this time i began giving solo performances
using only natural found objects (stones, shells, bones, driftwood,
pine cones, etc), as soundmakers, a practice which continues to
today.
eventually i stopped using the name hands
to.
in 1999, the animist orchestra was
founded. the ao focuses on making music that hopefully bypasses
our individual egos.
most of my previous work could be interpreted as being 'idea-based'.
i find that most of my work nowadays is sound-based. i believe this
is due to my growing interest in listening, in what happens when
one listens, and my concomitant disinterest in contextualizing sound.
