Julie Herndon
composer, performer, sound artist
Julie Herndon is a composer, performer, and sound artist whose interdisciplinary work explores the relationship between body, sound, and technology. Her work invites listeners into intimate, unpredictable sonic worlds—described by Kulturpunkt as “truly brilliant” and by San Francisco Classical Voice as “surprisingly expressive.” Herndon has shared her music internationally, from Germany’s Blaues Rauschen Festival to National Sawdust in New York and Música Estranha in Brazil. Recent collaborations with Decoder, JACK Quartet, and [Switch~ Ensemble] investigate the convergence of social and musical ecologies. A graduate of Stanford University and Mills College, she is currently Assistant Professor of Music Technology and Composition at Cal Poly.
