Joe Colley



Joe Colley has been viewed as one of America’s most excellent artist over the past few years. He explores the multiple possibilities of sound through the making of music, installations, collaborations between video artists and dancers.

His most recent development has been exploring chance manipulation in irregular sound materials. Joe often uses a very simple set up to create work, and he has a special ear for sound. His sounds constantly reconstruct themselves from their own fragments, redeveloped, deleted or destructed materials.

He has published work through Auscultare, Antifrost, ERS, Manifold, C.I.P and his own label Povertech Industries. Colley won an Award of Distinction for the 2006 Prix Ars Electronica in Digital Music for his album Psychic Stress Soundtracks.
