![]()
Weston Olencki (b.1992; Spartanburg, South Carolina) is a musician, composer, and sound artist based in Berlin, Germany. Their current work is centered around questions of instrumental music and its contexts/constructs, various mediated practices of listening and improvisation, and the technological, material, and cultural histories of rural space/time.
In recent projects these themes have manifested in fusions of experimentalism and noise with American traditional musics; site-specific sound work engaging with land and local histories of New England; the use of artificial (audio) intelligence, neural synthesis, and machine listening processes on “low-tech” materials; and a continued extension of the limits of instrumental performance on brass and wind instruments more broadly.
