John Brennan is an improviser, sound artist and drummer living on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations, Vancouver. His sound work includes installations and sonic sculptures that consider the relationship between the sonic memory of musical instruments, performance, and improvisation–The Temporal Drum Set (2018), Things Resounding Things (2019), and Rudiments for Hexidrome (2020). At the core of Brennan’s practice is collaboration. Among his current projects, Plan Your Future with Greg Saunier; PHYSIC with John Dieterich; dashes, a sound performance collaboration with Elisa Ferrari; Kamikaze Nurse with Casey Wei, Sonya Kim and Ethan Reyes; Bull Brennan Bull, an improvised performance trio with Hank Bull & Arthur Bull; Mo-Dale, an improvised performance duo with Justin Patterson, and Earth Ball, an improvised experimental ensemble with core members Izzy Ford and Jeremy Van Wyck and invited guests.
