Joe Colley / Crawl Unit

JOE COLLEY / CRAWL UNIT

JOE COLLEY has spent ten years exploring the multiple conceptual possibilities of sound, through music production, installations, or collaborations with video artists, dancers, and even prisoners. His latest installations attempted to dissimulate the artist by concentrating on the instigation of unstable situations unique to the composition of random sound. Colley first began recording under the moniker Crawl Unit in 1993, and later dropped the name in favor of his given name in 2001. He's released numerous recordings for Auscultare, Antifrost, ERS, Manifold, C.I.P, and his own Povertech Industries. In 2006, Colley won an Award of Distinction for the 2006 Prix Ars Electronica in Digital Music for his album Psychic Stress Soundtracks.

Joe Colley has performed at numerous 23five sponsored events, including the Tenth, Seventh, Sixth, and Fourth Activating the Medium festivals.
