I’m Joe Krause, a multidisciplinary artist living in Detroit.
Community radio, films, performances, music, city tours, zines, sound design, audio theater, cultural documentation, podcasts and so on. Join my newsketter, follow my socials, smash the things.

Thanks for visiting my Personal Homepage on The World Wide Web.

I’ll be appearing in this show on both evenings as a butterfly playing an accordion in a cherry orchard. Show up early for a good seat!

Gary Schwartz – Locomotion

As part of my ongoing collaboration with Academy Award nominated animator Gary Schwartz, I recently created two minutes of “walking” sound design for a student workshop he taught in Armenia. The high-school-aged students were charged with creating walk cycle animations to the changing scenes set up by the sound design.
