He is a member of the San Francisco based digital media collective Recombinant, in association with Surround Traffic Control and Asphodel Records. menard has contributed vocal processing to Asphodel releases. Recently, his Kyma sound mangling was used in Naut Humon’s A-Track Remix project, and was premiered at the Elektro Festival in Montreal, Canada. His 2001/2002 piece bumping prana for Kyma [or cd] and wind ensemble was premiered at the North by North West regional meeting of the CBDNA, and was featured on a five concert tour through California and Nevada. bumping prana was commissioned by Stuart Sims and California State University at Stanislaus, where, in the spring of 2002, he held an artistic residency. He has also used Kyma for creating interactive virtual performance environments, including levi’s loops for clarinet and Kyma, and prana’s mental for piano and live Kyma processing. menard is currently working on a series of pieces that he calls audiographs, or photographs of the human voice. His latest piece in this genre is from the mouth of his guru, a cosmic interview with his metaphysical teacher and ex-sixties radical, Leo Womack. Presently, menard is making field recordings in his native Louisiana, where he is capturing remnants of the dying Cajun French and English language. tanner menard has studied sound and music with Steven David Beck at LSU and has been highly enlightened by Naut Humon.
