Martin Herman

Composer - curator of online radio station - bentstrings radio - for experimental and unusul music, with apologies in advance for live365.com's cheesy self serving advertisements. Please drop by for a listen. And send me some of your music to get in the rotation. Founder and artistic director of the VOLT Festival in Long Beach, California - for the creation and production of new experimental music/art/theater. My work has been performed by Downtown Opera, California EAR Unit, Berkeley Contemporary Opera, Long Beach Symphony, Atlanta Symphony, Voice Box at CalArts. More recently I have collaborated with the Spanish sculptor, Mayte Alonso, on an interactive installation of sculpture/sound at the Casa de Velazquez in Madrid, Spain. Aesthetically I would place myself in the vein of post-minimalism, who loves progressive rock, laptop performance, most anything with drones and loops, experimental and conceptual art, theater and sound installation, and computer game design.
