Plant Mater explores and empathizes with the interior wisdom of plant life. Several plants will join us for the performance and be illuminated in space. It includes original music co-written by Rachel Beetz and Julie Herndon.
Julie Herndon is a composer, performer, and sound artist whose interdisciplinary work investigates the relationship between body, sound, and technology. Her work invites listeners into intimate, unpredictable sonic worlds—described by San Francisco Classical Voice as “surprisingly expressive.” Her music has been presented internationally, from the Munich Biennale in Germany to National Sawdust in New York and Música Estranha in Brazil. Recent commissions with andPlay and [Switch~ Ensemble] explore the convergence of social and musical ecologies. A graduate of Stanford University and Mills College, she is currently Assistant Professor of Music Technology and Composition at Cal Poly. Her writing on embodiment and spatial audio appears in Leonardo and Organised Sound, and her music can be heard on labels including Innova, Infrequent Seams, and Populist.
