String Noise is a classical, avant-punk violin duo comprised of violinists
Conrad Harris and Pauline Kim. Since its inception in 2011 at Ostrava New
Music Days, they have expanded the two violin repertoire in over 50 new
works to include larger collaborations with electronics, projections and

dance.

Their first feature album “The Book of Strange Positions” was released on
NORTHERN SPY RECORDS in November 2015. Tiny Mix Tapes describes
this collection of original works and arrangements by Eric Lyon of punk
covers by Bad Brains, Violent Femmes, Deerhoof, Radiohead, and Black
Flag as a “mix of classic punk covers and ZERO APOLOGIES.” Their new
7" inch EP “Covers” produced by Deerhoof drummer and composer Greg

Saunier is now available on Northern Spy Records.

String Noise was highlighted in Performa 2011 with artist Will Cotton and
was the featured ensemble for the launch of composers collective Index
0. Premieres include works by Christian Wolff, John King, Phill Niblock,
Caleb Burhans, David Lang, Annie Gosfield, Bernhard Lang, John Zorn,
Greg Saunier and Alvin Lucier. String Noise has performed at Issue Project
Room, Roulette, EXAPNO, Rockwood Music Hall and the Stone and

has been heard on WNYC, WKCR and WFMU. As curators, Conrad and
Pauline presented Drawing Sound: Part Il at the Drawing Center - a three

night mini-festival featuring artists Alvin Lucier, Greg Saunier and Jad Fair.
