2022-23 Artist-In-Residence
Found Sound Nation

Found Sound Nation is a creative agency and artist collective that uses music-making to connect people across cultural and societal divides. We believe that collaborative music creation is a deeply effective way to become aware of the beauty, trauma, and hidden potential in our communities.

Our work emphasizes a mobile approach to creating and producing music, combining traditions of musique concréte, hip hop, audio journalism, and contemporary composition. LEARN MORE.
