Brian Magrum

Born in Troy, Ohio, in 1976, this American artist has built a career rooted in sound and media exploration. With a focus on listening as a primary practice, the work often blends field recordings, studio textures, and live environments to shape immersive auditory experiences. Across projects, there is a clear commitment to clarity of perception, inviting audiences to notice subtleties in everyday soundscapes. The approach tends to emphasize process, listening habits, and collaborative creation, rather than flashy spectacle. Through various installations, performances, and installations-in-public spaces, the practice seeks to expand the way audiences encounter sound, memory, and environment in shared spaces.
