| Introduction | Hailing from Saint Martinville, La., Philippe Landry is a self-taught composer, multi-instrumentalist, and visual, video, and performance artist. He has exhibited a multi-media visual installation at the Good Children Gallery in New Orleans (in collaboration with visual artist Brian Guidry), sound art at Madame John’s Legacy as part of the Prospect 1.5 biennial in New Orleans (with visual artist Adrien Price), and has taken part in the Difficult Music series hosted by McKeown’s Rare Books & Difficult Music in New Orleans. He also exhibits various performance-based installations, which blend video, sound, and visual art. His work has been discussed in Gambit Weekly. Philippe has collaborated twice with South Louisiana choreographer Paige Krause, composing and performing the music for her large-scale dance-installation piece, I’ve Stopped Having That Dream I’ve Been Having; it premiered as an excerpt in the Spring of 2011 at the Acadiana Center for the Arts, and was then expanded for a second installment in Fall of 2011. Landry also releases music under the name the Cake Dancers, his latest albums being Negro Music, Home Of The Ponies, and Triadic Prelude. |
