Work: Sound Sky
Bio: After getting a degree in geophysics, designing and building furniture and working in the high tech industry, Halsey Burgund is now a sound artist and musician. He works primarily with spoken voices in combination with traditional and electronic instruments in both audio installations and musical performances. Recently, his work has focused on participatory location-based audio installations for which he developed Roundware, a distributed platform for collecting, organizing and re-presenting media via smartphones and the web. Halsey has exhibited and performed in museums and galleries including the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, the Museum of Science, Boston and the California Academy of Sciences and was recently awarded a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship to explore their audio archives for future work.
