WALTER KITUNDU (www.kitundu.com) Walter Kitundu is a composer, sound artist, graphic designer, and instrument builder. He uses an interdisciplinary approach to develop compositions-installations-instruments that blur the boundaries between media. He has constructed elemental turntables that rely on wood, water, fire and earthquakes for their power and pitch. He strives to reconnect the technology of new music to fundamental principles drawn from the natural world. Kitundu is the creator of a family of Phonoharps, beautifully crafted multi-stringed instruments made from record players. He is currently collaborating with the Kronos Quartet and will be published as part of a forthcoming anthology on sound art compiled by Paul D. Miller, a.k.a. DJ Spooky, that subliminal kid. Kitundu has been a resident artist at the Exploratorium, the Science Museum of Minnesota, the Singapore Science Centre, and Skriduklaustur, Iceland where he is developing a Geologic Sound Casting project for volcanically active regions of the island BACK SUKHADIA BIO
