Angela Veomett

Angela Veomett is currently a visiting instructor of Technology in Music and the Related Arts at Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio. Her career in sound and media art began during her undergraduate years at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, where she learned sound recording and audio technology working as an audio engineer for the School of Music. She also studied the work of Steve Reich and his incorporation of sound technology into his compositions, writing her bachelor’s thesis about Different Trains. While completing a year of graduate work studying sound design for theater at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, she was introduced to electro-acoustic composition by Paul Rudy. Intrigued by the new opportunities for self-expression that were offered in new technologies, she moved from theater to media art, earning a Masters degree in Media Arts at the University of Michigan. She finished her thesis work, Chernobyl Generation, in April 2006 under the guidance of Alicyn Warren.

Her work, which incorporates video, electro-acoustic music, and live performers, focuses on the intersections between spirituality, politics, and the physical body.
