Project Description

Ann Warde is a composer, sound installation artist, and independent scholar. A recent NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellow in Music/Sound from The New York Foundation for the Arts, her experimental projects frequently combine animal vocalizations and instruments, suggesting and investigating alternative forms of communication. Following a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in music at Cornell University, her work with sound focused for the next decade on applications of audio technology to the analysis of whale sounds at Cornell’s Lab of Ornithology. Subsequently, as a US-UK Fulbright Researcher at the University of York, she developed interests in American philosophy alongside work with spatial audio techniques in music composition and bioacoustics.
