Joey Largent is a composer, writer and field recordist. His musical work focuses on exploring long-duration compositions and improvisations for acoustic ensembles and solo performance, often working with just intonation. He has collaborated with numerous dancers, musicians, and interdisciplinary artists over the years as both a composer and improviser, and has studied North Indian Classical singing with several disciples of Pandit Pran Nath, primarily Michael Harrison and Rose Okada, with shorter periods of study with Shabda Kahn, La Monte Young and Jung Hee Choi, and rudra veena with Daniel Shurman. As a result of being self-taught for much of his life, Joey plays a variety of instruments--voice, rudra veena, percussion, and reed organ primarily. Outside of his musical practice, he writes fiction, poetry, and philosophy, plays with analog photography, spends time in nature, and enjoys reading as often as possible.
