EVIDENCE
Sound artists Stephan
Moore and Scott Smallwood began performing as the duo Evidence in 2001.
Focusing on the universe of real-world sound, Evidence pours field
recordings like water into their compositional and improvisational process,
resulting in music that balances between tight organization and unregulated
flow. Using recording equipment, laptops, and other electronic devices,
Evidence creates music that deals with gradual change, improvised over
time, sometimes atmospheric, sometimes pulsating, always texturally
striking and unique. Resisting classification into a single genre, Evidence
is equally at home performing in experimental venues, clubs, galleries,
planetariums, and rooftops.

STEPHAN MOORE
Sound artist Stephan Moore
makes audio work for the stage, gallery, screen, and in the studio. His
creations often center around the collection and use of real-world sound,
the creation and perception of sonic environments, and technological
manifestations of improvisation and interactivity. He performs regularly as
half of the electronic duo Evidence, and with a wide variety of musicians,
video artists, and dancers. A major series of recent sound art
installations and performances uses a sixteen-channel array of hand-built
hemispherical speakers. A designer of custom performance software and
hardware for a number of composers and artists, he also teaches sound art
and electronic music at the Massachusetts College of Art, Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute, and Simon's Rock College.
SCOTT
SMALLWOOD
When Scott Smallwood was 10 years old, he received his first tape recorder,
and ever since he has been fascinated by the possibilities of recorded
sound. Traditionally trained as a pianist and composer, Smallwood has at
various times found himself composing concert music, improvising in
free-music contexts, recording and manipulating field recordings, and
making dance music. He is active as a composer/performer with several New
York-based ensembles, including Nyquist, Brown Cuts Neighbors, and
Evidence. He has also been active as an organizer and presenter of
experimental music, and is founder of the Impulse Response performance
series in Troy, NY.
