ABOUT JEPH JERMAN
I grew up in a military family, so we moved around a lot, a different place every two years until my father retired in Colorado. I started playing music in a number of bar bands, whilst also experimenting with other forms- playing around with tape recorders and trying to find people to improvise with. Formed a few long lasting bands (Big Joey,City Of Worms, Blowhole) and began recording and playing solo as hands to. Ran a cassette label during the ’80’s cassette culture explosion.Eventually ended up in Seattle, where I fell in with the localmusical community. Two years of near-constant playing with people like Paul Hoskin, Doug Theriault, Dave Knott, Angelina Baldoz, Lori Goldston, Mike Shannon and Wally Shoup. One memorable concert with John Butcher. Continued to develop my solo work, and began improvising with naturalsound makers (stones,shells, pine cones) around 1996. Formed the first animist orchestra in 1999, to perform works for same.Moved to Arizona and have since done tours with Tim Barnes, Sean Meehan and David Daniell, Paul Hoskin, and toured Australia and New Zealand with Greg Davis. In 2001 I made recordings of the desert and it’s interaction with man made structures and released a new cassette every month for a year. I continue to investigate the desert,build crude sound making devices and play and record whenever the opportunity arises. In 2014 I received an Artist Grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Art.
