Tanner Menard was born on September 20th, 1978 – the same month that Brian Eno published his essay titled “Ambient Music”. At the age of 11, Menard composed his first works for piano. For nearly 20 years he has composed and curated experimental sound works and installations both for electronic media and orchestral ensembles. In 2002, his world was permanently altered by his experience working with Naut Humon, the well known curator and then label owner of Recombinant Media Labs in San Francisco. There Menard discovered the aesthetic world of ambient, experimental, and minimal electronica.

Tanner Menard’s music is released on Install Records, Archaic Horizon Net Label, Friendly Virus Net Label, Kafua Records and will soon be released on Experimedia. His orchestral music has been published by Loose Filter Music. Menard’s music has also appeared on the radio, on tv, in plays, at art galleries, and in major concert halls across the world. In 2005 Menard served as an artist in residence at Arizona State University where he collaborated with Jeph Jerman, Gary Hill, and Daniel Bernard Romain for his installation, “Envyronie”. Menard is rapidly becoming known for his work as an internet artist and publisher combining blogging, music creation, conceptual art, installation, remix and international collaboration.

    Oy! Met you briefly in a bus stop in AZ (TapeOp, anyone), and then briefly brushed by you again at the LA terminal, when I was far too deep in the midst/mists of persistent hypagogia to collect my thoughts and say anything too intelligent. Dig the sounds. I'd sleep to this!

    it is night, but still bright enough outside that you can see the silhouettes of trees in the distance that fade into an endless black. The snow contrasts against the black trees making them stand out more than they already do and creating paths into the darkness. The projection of the window you are looking out is across the snow immediately out the window in a trapezoid shape, divided by four. snow is lightly falling, being illuminated by the light from the window, but disappearing into the darkness as soon as it escapes the light. you are only aware it is snowing by that light. the falling snow is random and softly floating by, but it very bright at the same time.
