About Whispers for Wolves, Biosphere 3 & Kiva of Duality
WhisPers for WoLves and Biosphere 3 and the Kiva of Duality are the solo pysch/noise/folk projects of Melissa Moore. The musician, installation/sound artist, and sculptor was born in Washington DC in 1975 and is now based in Baltimore, MD. Moore's gallery and performative sound work ranges from noisey finger-pickin folk guitar, banjo, invented instruments, voice, song, and electronics including music based in field recording composition (performing under the name Tauu). Her composed work involves the magnification of minute sound sources, focusing attention on the physical properties of materials and unusual acoustic phenomena in a reductive and elemental way. Her latest CD is titled; "Language of the Dards" (tauu and twiLight sing 100,000 songs of Milarepa: Noise Narratives). It is a multi-part series of pieces developed around the text/teachings/songs of Tibetan Yogi, Milarepa. Currently there are (3) long recordings of voice/finger-pickin guitar, nepalese oboe, and electronics. Her debut CD of this project came out March 08' on Italian label, Boring Machines.
Her current music and performance work involves machine-sewn, clear-vinyl portable structures (biospheres) of her own design and construction. Inspired by the failed human/biome experiment of the late 80's/early 90's, the Biosphere 2. Melissa also developed and curates the Baltimore electro-acoustic/multi-channel sound series, SoundPillow Series. She was selected to perform High Zero 2005/2007, an international experimental music festival in Baltimore, MD. She has also performed at Straulau 68, LaborSonar, and Lichtblick Kino in Berlin, Germany, Elastic Arts and Something Else Radio in Chicago, Illinois, Homemade Festival and Monkeytown and Paris London West Nile in New York, le cagibi in Montreal, the Redroom and 14 Karat Cabaret in Baltimore and other venues in the US. She was also a recipient of 2008 Creative Baltimore Fund Individual Artist Grant for her visual art. Her present work is an intersection of sound, sculpture, and installation.
