Crafting sonic landscapes where analog warmth meets digital chaos. Producer, engineer, sound explorer.

Making music that connects us to ourselves, our stories and with the souls whom we share the universe with.

I’m starting using Soundcloud. I thought this could work as an audio scrapbook where I will make some experiments and store any ideas that will arise. Something to share quicker without having to build a video clip.

Julie Herndon is a composer, performer, and sound artist exploring the body’s relationship to sound.  

Her electroacoustic work has been described as “truly brilliant” (Kulturpunkt), “like a signal from another world” (Tages-Anzeiger), and “blended to inhabit a surprisingly expressive space” (SFCV). Her compositions and installations have been presented at MATA Festival and National Sawdust in New York, Artistry Space in Singapore, Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Oaxaca (MACO) in Mexico, Music Biennale Zagreb (MBZ), Sogar Theater in Zurich, and by Forest Collective in Australia. Recent collaborations include the Decoder Ensemble, JACK Quartet, Ensemble Dal Niente, and Kukuruz Quartet. 

Julie is the recipient of the Elisabeth Crothers Award for Music Composition, American Composers Forum Bay Area Residency, National Sawdust New Works Commission, Chamber Music America Commissioning Grant, New Music America Creator Fund, and Georges Lurcy Fellowship. As an artist in residence, she has collaborated with institutions such as the Cité Internationale des Arts, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Center for Music and Audio Technologies (CNMAT) at Berkeley, Djerassi, and I-Park artist residency programs.

Julie is currently Assistant Professor of Music Technology and Composition at California Polytechnic State University. She holds a DMA from Stanford University, and her writing, “Embodied Composition: Composing the Body with Sound” can be found in Leonardo with MIT Press.

Triveni, named after the confluence of three rivers, weaves elements of Swedish herding music, Karelian kantele improvisations, and contemporary classical music, gently blending field recordings and subtle electronics.

A fragile musical concept with clarinet and accordion.

They use free improvisation as a tool, not as a genre. Often their music goes slow, touches the intimate space. In their playfulness they mix abstract contemporary sounds with short harmonic phrases. Their music expresses a constant longing within a dreamy atmosphere. Travelling melodies encourage the desire of beauty in life.
