Field Recording in Sierra Nevadas 2016
Produced by: 
KBOO
KBOO's 2017 Artist in Residence

 

Nikki Martin has been working in the sound fields for over a decade collecting sonic ephemera and some really cool friends who record all over the world. She was nominated for a 2011 Helen Hayes Award in Outstanding Sound Design and has taught master classes and skillshares at Georgetown University, the Goethe Institut in DC, and at Bread and Puppet Theater in VT. She gets geeky about sound dramaturgy and playing with psychoacoustics in her sound installations. Nikki's secret loves are making monster noises and setting the stage for hauntings. She hopes the Threshold Shift series  increases and deepens awareness of acoustic ecology, bioacoustics and sound conservation efforts around the globe.  If you want to chat about any of this, feel free to give her a shout.
