About the artist
Known for his playful and virtuosic improvisational approach to electroacoustic music, id m theft able’s performances consist of stream-of-consciousness vocal technique, performative manipulations and gestures with collected objects, as well as the use of an amplified wire and wood sculpture that amasses echoes, shrieks, crashes, and creaks — assembling all manner of media sources. His works fit into an expansive visual universe and release history collected in mangdisc, an audiovisual label that serves as a vehicle for distribution (including a “found” series) that releases modest quantities of individual works presented in whatever medium is available at the time. Id m theft able performs within and without the realms of noise, improvisation, sound poetry, performance art and more, using voice, everyday objects, electronics, and whatever else is available. He has given hundreds of performances across four continents in various settings. He lives in Maine.

Presented in collaboration with the Jamaica Plain Branch of the Boston Public Library.
