Composer, vocalist, multi-instrumental electronic musician, and
multimedia artist Christina Wheeler’s sonic explorations include forays in a myriad
of styles and forms. She blends an amalgam of improvised electronic music from an
array of sources: processed vocals, vocal loops, hand-triggered sampler, theremin,
Q-chord, autoharp, electric mbira, and glass armonica. Previous band projects
include Wiremouth, Floating People, and BlowOut, and current and past projects span
solo song-cycle series, solo instrumental improvisational compositions, immersive
solo and ensemble-based multimedia performance and generative installation projects,
and collaborations with Nicole Mitchell, Laraaji, Vernon Reid, Hprizm/Priest, Roscoe
Mitchell, and The Bakol, with Greg Tate and Satch Hoyt. A Los Angeles native,
Wheeler is a graduate of Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges and Manhattan School of
Music. Wheeler continues to develop and present new, immersive, multimedia
works, and to write for her latest instrument, the glass armonica.
