Shawne is a San Francisco bay-area transplant from the urban midwestern jungle known as Chicago. There she teaches noise making and mouse clicking for a company with a fruit-based logo. When she's not teaching, she's sonically exploring. She often plays well with others. (she also likes to write about herself in 3rd person) Following in the theatrical/improvisational footsteps, she often composes for a wide variety of styles/genres/audiences. This recent grad from the Theatre School at DePaul University has had the pleasure of collaborating with Sansculottes Theatre, Serendipity Theatre, Infusion Theatre, Lakeside Shakespeare, the Irish American Heritage Center, the Goodman Theatre, Four Door Films, etc. Musical influences include, but by no means are limited to, The Album Leaf, Sigur Ros, Phillip Glass, Erik Satie, Elliot Goldenthal, Sonic Youth, Le Tigre, etc. Contacts with comments, concerns, questions, or a simple "hello" is always approved.
