Robert E. Livingood: Robert E. Livingood is a writer, DJ, sound artist, and deep wilderness explorer. Originally an events organizer in Detroit’s radical underground art scenes of the 80s / early 90s, a chance encounter with the grizzly bear in Wyoming compelled him to move west and study wildlife biology at Evergreen State College, in Olympia, Wa. After more than a decade in science, Robert returned to his creative roots and now resides in Nelson, British Columbia, a thriving arts community in the mountains of western Canada. His primary interest revolves around using synthesizers as a means to dialog with the forces of wild nature and healing the trauma inflicted by humans on wild animals, particularly the grizzly bear. Together, with partner and visual artist Stephanie Kellett, the two create wildness based multi-media installations for public galleries and pop-up art events. Robert makes experimental music using analog and FM synthesizers which has been released on underground electronic music labels from Los Angeles to Berlin. And, just to round it all out, he does outreach support work with rural homeless people throughout the Kootenay region where he lives.
