Lauren Weinger composes image based electro-acoustic music. Her work is site motivated and changes vocabulary in response to the constraints and material of a given place. Her work is primarily based on processed acoustic sounds gathered at the site or of the object being portrayed. Weinger focuses on the memory of sounds no longer heard and "the ability of recorded sound to evoke memory and 'bring back' places that no longer exist". In performance and installation she diffuses and layers sounds using three dimensional multiple channel and speaker projection extending in some cases to forty speakers through spaces up to a quarter mile long and sixty feet high.
Her environments and site collaborations with aerialist Joanna Haigood since1978 include : a woman in a 500 gallon tank of water, a walk through a mattress factory, the bell tower in the Cloisters at the Palace of the Popes in Avignon France, a 120 foot working grain elevator, and many others. Performances, collaborations and exhibitions include San Francisco, CA : The Redwood Forest, The Exploratorium, Theater Artaud, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Fort Point Channel, San Francisco Legion of Honor.
