Soundwalk Collective join Mute Song—

Mute Song is delighted to announce the signing of the experimental sound collective Soundwalk Collective.

Founded by Stephan Crasneanscki in New York City in 2000 and joined by Simone Merli in 2008. Following the participation of Dug Winningham and Kamran Sadeghi throughout the years, the Collective currently operates in a continuously rotating constellation of sound artists and musicians.

Their approach to composition combines anthropology, ethnography, non-linear narrative, psycho- geography, the observation of nature, and explorations in recording and synthesis. The source material of their works is always linked to specific locations, natural or artificial, and requires long periods of investigative travel and field work.

Distinguished collaborators include American singer, songwriter and poet Patti 
Smith, Ethiopian Jazz musician Mulatu Astatke, American photographer Nan Goldin and French- Swiss film director Jean-Luc Godard. The Collective have also written original scores for contemporary dance choreographer Sasha Waltz.
