Jason Grier is a media producer and sound designer. His work exploits artistic research, political theory, and software development. He releases sounds and soundmaking tools as architectures for mass collaboration via Ableton and Human Ear Music (HEM), a label he founded in 2006 which now counts Ariel Pink, Julia Holter, Michael Pisaro, Lucrecia Dalt, and Ekkehard Ehlers, among many others, as participants. Grier maintains an inquisitive, adventurous attitude toward the intersections of social practice, materiality, and mediated being, mainly via off-the- grid collaborations. He is active in a number of places, primarily Los Angeles, Berlin, Austin, and Copenhagen.
