"Brandon LaBelle lives and works in LA. A musician, performer, critic, sound artist, publisher, he stands at the cross-roads of various artistic disciplines, mixing his practices in a singular work articulating sound and social space. Through his use of contact mics, the human body turns into a complex sound source, and the space where the action takes place becomes a musical instrument by itself. Brandon LaBelle builds his sound performance to reflect the site and the objects he finds there, found-art seen as a highly conceptual reasoning as well as a play in improvisation. The music of Brandon LaBelle reveals the social context in which it exists, or more precisely, it's the context itself that is designated as a musical event, through the displacement of the concept of authorship on an active social space. Techné presents itself like the trace of a process where the physical body interacts with architecture via micro contacts. The technology is the interface of this contact built both on desire and the architectural constraint of the place (and its subconscious). A recording of situationist poetry where the politics project gives its shape to the musical project, a radical noise."

"In his installations the audio artist Brandon LaBelle focuses on the dynamics of spaces, objects, bodies and language. His interest is primarily in the performative possibilities of language: how the various consonants and vowels collectively form an architectural whole that enables us to form words and sentences, and subsequently how they achieve, influence and complicate communication. In his new installation Over/Hear his attention shifted to that which has been said: overheard conversations."

"...sound is always undermining its own systemization, signifying more than a one to one relation. Rather, a multiplicity of connotations appear with sound and are amplified within its wave: conversations are set in motion between the sounds I make and the sounds already occurring, between the cultural work and the real, between listening and responding. This conversation fluctuates in the slippery fold of meaning, in the agitated space of the real, making it uncertain where one sound orginates and the others fade out, where public space starts and private impulse ends, where music is heard and interference disrupts." --Brandon Labelle.
