PHOEBE LEGERE is a TRANSMEDIA ARTIST using many different forms of media: film, music, installation, electronics, paint, circuits, invented instruments, traditional instruments, performance art, poetry, costumes and movement. Her hybrid art form explores the reciprocal relationships between disciplines in an interaction of location, science, music, painting, television and gender. Phoebe Legere is a dynamic performer on piano, accordion, Native American flute, and synthesizer, with a four and half octave vocal range. She has a highly creative approach to mixing jazz, classical, rock and Native American music. Still a teenager when she became the resident composer for the Wooster Group with Spaulding Grey and Willem Defoe, she then went on to study with John Lewis of the Modern Jazz Quartet. Legere graduated from Vassar College, studied at Juilliard attended NYU Graduate School of Music Composition. She led highly influential downtown rock bands, from Monad, to Ultra Monad, To Blond Fox, To the 4 Nurses of the Apocalypse. During the past decade, Legere has dedicated her creative energy to adventurous, genre bending serious music composition. Legere developed an assistive device for disabled children called the Rap Shoes which she has since incorporated into her live performances. Her Sneakers of Samothrace 4.0, a wearable computer for music and art improvisation, were presented at a lecture/performance at IRCAM’s Resonances Aux Festival in Paris in 2004 and at STEIM electronic music foundation in Amsterdam, Holland in 2006. ADIDAS SALOMON financed a second pair of Legere’s Rap Shoes. Legere has released seven CDs of original music, and has appeared on National Public Radio, CBS Sunday Morning, PBSs City Arts, and Charlie Rose. She records for Einstein Records, a label known for experimental and adventurous music.
