Working under the moniker Swim Ignorant Fire since 2005; composer,
audio engineer, and sound artist Stephen Holliger has spent the last
20 years recording, touring and collaborating extensively within
midwest experimental ambient music.

Holliger sculpts his cinematic ambient soundscapes using found sounds,
field recordings, fm and abstract synthesis, and sample manipulation
to create immersive moving environments.

For the Tack Room Ambient Series, Holliger will be performing using
source material from childhood church services, field recordings/found
sounds, fm and modular synthesis alongside processed audio. Expect
long form, slowly evolving textures, loops, and melodies that float
above and below the stillness between.

Holliger works in collaboration with Yea Big and Nate Hahn on pedal
steel (Ohtis) as Swim Ignorant Fire, with Eddie Breitweiser (pt.fwd)
as Slow Dog; and with No Below Editions as co-founder., a small
midwest label devoted to local experimental music with limited curated
physical run media.
