Scot Jenerik

Scot Jenerik is a multidisciplinary artist/instrumentalist, composer, and sound engineer. He has performed, lectured and distributed works extensively in the United States, Europe, and Japan for over 30 years. He is co-owner of Mobilization Records, has an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, founded 23five Incorporated (the first non-profit arts organization in the US dedicated specifically to the development and increased awareness of sound works in the public arena) and co-hosted the No Other Radio Network on KPFA. Mr. Jenerik's explosive performances, incorporating hand-built instruments of metal and fire, are infamous both around his home of San Francisco/Portland and throughout the world. Combining elements of Kodo drumming, drone and noise, Jenerik transfers the intensity of physical performance into a throbbing soundscape of rhythms, drones, and direct elemental contact. Mr. Jenerik’s recent recorded work has been the abstract, non-representational dark ambient project AUME (with Chrome and ex F-Space drummer Aleph Omega). All releases have a hand-sculpted physical container that is integral to the work. An example of this is his solo release of an album made from cement that is playable on a turntable and is housed in a handcrafted hardwood box. In addition, his experimental short films have been shown in film festivals internationally. As of October 2019, he has rebooted F-Space (with Ethan Port of Savage Republic)
