ABOUT
For Forest Graham, sound is a material as tactile as wood, wire, or plaster. It is something that lives with us in time, shaping our experiences, resonating our bodies, and modulating our very sense of being. The American electro-acoustic composer, sound artist, visual artist and designer approaches technology with intuition, building a world where timbre and cadence blur into image and space. His practice explores the tension between signal and noise, utility and spirit.Performing under the name Forrest Lawn, and with his wife Savannah Lamal as Grant Lagarde and Caviar Dreams, he composes and improvises with feedback, phase manipulation, resonance, and chance, with a deep commitment to procession and atmosphere. Through Graham and Lamal's project Fieldwork Devices, they design and hand-build effects pedals and esoteric electro-acoustic devices, instruments that invite a conversation between the quantum and the quotidian.
Graham lives and works in the American Southwest, where vast skies and open landscapes bleed into the timbre of his work.
