Visiting Artists for Fall '09

Frank Pahl

A true original, composer/musician sound artist Frank Pahl has spent his musical career in the underground, amassing an international cult following. Whether with his groups Only a Mother, Scavenger Quartet, Little Bang Theory, performing solo, or creating sound installations, he charms his public with lovely avant-garde melodies played on an impressive array of neglected acoustic instruments and homemade automatons. His aesthetics belong in the unique territories between Eugene Chadbourne, Pascal Comelade, and Trimpin.

Pahl maintains his unique character whether composing for automatic organs or ship horns in a harbor. He has received numerous commissions for theater, film and dance and is active as a multidisciplinary artist, creating strange eyecatching automated sound sculptures and installations.
