John Kannenberg creates quietly reflective works in both image and sound that blur the boundaries between intention and accident. Using techniques derived from free improvisation, musical composition, field drawing, minimalism, cubism and abstract expressionism in their construction, his works deal with a wide variety of themes including time, nature, mindful contemplation, collection, the sonics of space and place, and the processes of both making and observing art.

Since April 2002, John has served as the creator, designer and curator of Stasisfield.com, an experimental music label and interdisciplinary digital art space presenting works by a diverse collection of artists from around the globe.

.VANISHING POINT

Featured in Notations21. For 4 performers including John Kannenberg and Collin McRae.

Landscape I : Vanishing Point is a score for four or more performers.

The work is based on a graphite sketch and field recording I made of the shoreline of Lake Michigan in October of 2003. The score consists of four individual parts that can be performed by four or more musicians. While the score is meant to help guide the musicians through a decision-making process, the music performed is meant to be improvisational in nature. --> details
