His interest in the intersections of musical form, architecture and social spaces led to the founding, in 1996, of Diapason, a gallery devoted to the presentation of multi-channel sound installations, long-duration performances and intermedia artworks. In its 15 years of existence Diapason presented over 300 artists, at a time when sound art was emerging as a distinct practice in the United States. Schumacher is the music director of the Liz Gerring Dance Company and performs regularly with choreographer Sally Silvers. He studied music composition with Stanley Applebaum, Bernhard Heiden, John Eaton and Vincent Persichetti and piano with Seymour Bernstein, John Ogdon and Shigeo Neriki, and has degrees from Indiana University and Juilliard.

Eschewing a conventional narrative voice, he orchestrates a confluence of associative elements to evoke, rather than analyze, the textures of a specific culture. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, he studied painting at the University of Puerto Rico and the School of Fine Arts of the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture. He has been awarded both Guggenheim and Rockefeller Fellowships as well as the American Film Institute’s Maya Deren Award for Excellence in Film and Video. His works have been exhibited at the Whitney Biennial, Documenta 8, Sao Paolo Biennial, Tate Gallery, Louvre Museum, Pompidou Center for the Arts, Paris, National Art Museum of China, Beijing, among others. They are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art: New York, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Hara Museum, Japan, and others. In 2000 he was an artist in residence at the World Trade Center where he created a site specific installation on the 91st Floor of Tower One. His award winning documentary on Japanese Butoh, Dance of Darkness, was broadcast nationally in the USA by PBS and internationally in France and Germany by ARTE TV. State of Rest and Motion, an experimental documentary premiered at the Museum of Modern Art’s Documentary Fortnight and screened at the 2017 Havana Film Festival and Doc LA, where it won the Best Experimental Film award.

He produces rapid-fire juxtapositions of radically contrastive and fascinating noises, with micropolyphonic timbres and textures, aggressive sonic eruptions, but also quiet pulses and barely audible sounds. Signal To Noise called his guitar works “…a killer tour de force of post-everything guitar damage”, All Music Guide recommended him: “…clearly one of the best experimental guitarists to come forward during the 1990s.” He currently plays an analog modular synthesizer built around chaotic behaviors, where small changes in the settings may yield widely diverging sonic and rhythmic changes, forcing the player to constantly rethink and rearrange music. Hans Tammen’s numerous projects include site-specific performances and collaborative efforts with dance, light, video, and theatre, utilizing technology from planetarium projectors to guitar robots and disklavier pianos. He received a Fellowship from the New York Foundation of the Arts (NYFA) in the category Digital/Electronic Arts in 2009 for the ”Endangered Guitar” – a hybrid guitar/software instrument used to control interactive live sound processing. His THIRD EYE ORCHESTRA open form compositions for large ensembles and live sound processing, or laptop/electronic ensembles, are inspired by Earle Brown’s Available Forms, and based on numerous scored “building blocks” that are constantly rearranged when performed. His works have been presented on festivals in the US, Canada, Mexico, Russia, India, South Africa and all over Europe. He recorded on labels such as Innova, ESP-DISK, Nur/Nicht/Nur, Creative Sources, Leo Records, Potlatch, Cadence, and Hybrid.

Over the past few (pre-pandemic) years he’s found more interest in presenting works, performing and recording in outdoor spaces. “Ben Owen is an investigator, explorer and illustrator of the physical properties of the world we inhabit. His work across multiple media, including sound, video and, importantly, stone litho printmaking, is motivated by a desire to more deeply understand the inner life and character of the materials he works with, rather than an impulse to control or implement them. While Ben doesn’t shy away from the use of the computer, he is much more interested in the rich dynamism of the structures and forces he investigates — electricity, light, ink, spatial acoustics, field recordings — than in the power and precision of software-driven techniques.” – Morgan Packard” [“post_title”]=> string(8) “Ben Owen” [“post_excerpt”]=> string(0) “” [“post_status”]=> string(7) “publish” [“comment_status”]=> string(6) “closed” [“ping_status”]=> string(6) “closed” [“post_password”]=> string(0) “” [“post_name”]=> string(8) “ben-owen” [“to_ping”]=> string(0) “” [“pinged”]=> string(0) “” [“post_modified”]=> string(19) “2025-03-14 19:52:38” [“post_modified_gmt”]=> string(19) “2025-03-14 19:52:38” [“post_content_filtered”]=> string(0) “” [“post_parent”]=> int(0) [“guid”]=> string(54) “http://137.184.72.135/?post_type=artist&p=5085578” [“menu_order”]=> int(0) [“post_type”]=> string(6) “artist” [“post_mime_type”]=> string(0) “” [“comment_count”]=> string(1) “0” [“filter”]=> string(3) “raw” } [11]=> object(WP_Post)#2719 (24) { [“ID”]=> int(5606279) [“post_author”]=> string(1) “3” [“post_date”]=> string(19) “2025-01-21 18:47:00” [“post_date_gmt”]=> string(19) “2025-01-21 18:47:00” [“post_content”]=> string(1026) “Nantes based artists Jenny Pickett and Julien Ottavi created Solar Return in 2009.
