Susan Stenger
Forma commissioned and produced the 96-day sound score by Susan Stenger for the project Soundtrack for an Exhibition.
Susan Stenger has bridged the rock and art music worlds throughout her career. After studying classical flute in Prague, she joined Petr Kotik's New York City-based SEM Ensemble and devoted herself to the performance of new and experimental music, especially that of John Cage, Phill Niblock and Christian Wolff. She soon began composing and performing her own music for flute and electronics, as well touring with Rhys Chatham's all-electric-guitar group. In 1987 Stenger joined Robert Poss in forming Band of Susans; her role evolved from bassist to singer and songwriter as BOS went on to release nine critically acclaimed CDs.
