Tanner Menard info
Tanner Menard was born on September 20th, 1978 － the same month that
Brian Eno published his essay titled “Ambient Music”. At the age of 11, Menard
composed his first works for piano and has since explored minimal sound worlds
in myriad contexts that are bound by a central poetic understanding of sound.
For nearly 20 years he has composed and curated experimental sound works and
installations both for electronic media and orchestral ensembles. Menard’s
music is released on Install Records, Archaic Horizon Net Label, Friendly
Virus Net Label, Kafua Records and will soon be released on Tokyo Droning,
Experimedia, Slow Flow Rec and Mandorla. His orchestral music has been published
by Loose Filter Music.
Menard’s work has also appeared on the radio, on tv, in plays, at
art galleries, festivals, spiritual centers and in major concert halls across
the world. In 2005 Menard served as an artist in residence at Arizona State
University where he collaborated with Jeph Jerman, Gary Hill, and Daniel Bernard
Romain for his installation, “Envyronie”. Menard is rapidly becoming known
for recreation of Robert Rich's Sleep Concert with Chika Iijima and Jeremy
Bible and has lulled audiences to sleep with sounds from over 100 artists
from all over the globe.
