Christopher DeLaurenti is a Seattle-based composer, improvisor and phonographer.

About his work, he writes : "I seek not only to capture the ordinary and extraordinary sounds of everyday life, but to bear witness to current crises that touch my conscience and impel me to respond."

Christopher’s best know pieces, the four called "protest symphonies", use the pertinent sonic materials of social change, topical field recordings, battlefield audio, earwitness testimony and other relevant sonic documents : N30 : live at the WTO Protest November 30, 1999, N30 : Who guards the Guardians ?, Two Secret Wars, and Live in New York at the Republican National Convention September 2 – August 28, 2004.

He is a co-funder of the Phonographers Union, a collective devoted to live improvisation with unprocessed field recordings. Christopher’s solo work encompasses field recordings, electroacoustic and acousmatic music, text-sound scores, free-improvised low-tech electronics, and compositions for acoustic instruments.

His music resides at delaurenti.net along with many music-related essays and articles.
