Ian Epps is a Brooklyn based musician whose work explores immateriality through dense harmonic fields, a full spectrum sound combining room tone and feedback that is hypersensitive in its closeness while expansive in a drift of indeterminacy. Allowing the physical sound and the dynamics of the room to influence the shape of the unfolding acoustics, the room is played as an instrument. His compositions, soundtracks and field recordings have been exhibited in museums and institutions internationally at venues including MoMA PS1, Museum of Modern Art, the New Museum, Gagosian, Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, Walker Art Center, Wexner Center for the Arts, Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center, LoveBytes (UK) and Carré d’Art – Musée d’art Contemporain. He has composed, collaborated and performed alongside artists and musicians such as Ann Hamilton, Dara Friedman, Rafael Toral, Lea Bertucci, Mountains, Jozef van Wissem, Joe McPhee, and Pauline Oliveros. He is a recipient of the 2014 New York State Council on the Arts Media Arts Assistance Grant and has released music on Tomlab/ Softlmusic (Germany), Grain of Sound (Portugal), Baskaru (France), Powershovel Audio (Japan), and Unframed Recordings (United States) as well as others.
