Kathy Kennedy
KATHY KENNEDY is a sound artist trained in visual arts and classical singing. Her artistic practice usually involves the voice and questions of interface with technology, often using telephony or radio transmission. Her work engages with public and physical space through the voice. She is also involved in community art and is one of the founders of the feminist digital media center Studio XX (now Ada-X), as well as the innovative women's choral group Choeur Maha. Her large-scale sound installations/performances for numerous singers and radio stations, known as “sound choreographies”, as well as the HMMM series, have been presented worldwide. Ms. Kennedy currently teaches music at Concordia University in Montreal.
She frequently gives lectures and workshops on listening techniques, acoustic ecology and vocal improvisation, and brings people together to sing in old and new ways. Deeply influenced by the deep listening practice of composer Pauline Oliveros, she is a certified instructor.
Her solo performances include a high level of improvisation over lush soundtracks of voices and other sounds meticulously blended to create an immersive world of different voices.
