 about the artist.

Picture
Honolulu, 2016
Gretchen Jude is an award-winning experimental performer and composer for film, dance and theater, whose music has been heard around the globe. Born and raised in the wild state of Idaho, Jude is interested in the complex interactions between nature and technology. Keen attention to her immediate surroundings forms the core of Jude's artistic practice, making her an accomplished improviser and a sensitive collaborator.

Jude's sounds spring from broad and eclectic listening experience. She has studied audio media with Ted Apel, John Bischoff, James Fei, Jeff Lubow & Nicolas Collins, music improvisation with Fred Frith, Roscoe Mitchell, Pauline Olveros & Zeena Parkins; voice with Giselle Wyers, Molly Holm, Jonathan Nadel, Etsuko Takezawa & Makiko Sakurai; and Japanese musics (nagauta, hauta & kouta shamisen, jiuta koto) with Makoto Nishimura, Curtis Patterson & Kasuga Shibahime. Years of working in Japan shape Jude's approach to life as well as music.

Jude
holds an M.F.A. in Electronic Music & Recording Media from Mills College (2011) and a Ph.D. in Performance Studies (with a Designated Emphasis in Practice as Research) from the University of California, Davis (2018), along with certification from the Sawai Koto Institute (Tokyo) and the Deep Listening Institute (New York).
