BIO
Sean Meehan became musically active in the late 80's at the amica bunker series for improvised music which was housed at the Anarchist's Switchboard and then later at ABC No Rio in New York City.

Current performances generally find Meehan playing only the snare drum in a manner that sheds conventional usage and reconstructs the conception and function of the instrument. Concert activities, both at home and away, are generally divided between playing in conventional settings for experimental music and in seeking out unique locations that are often in the unobserved and unconsidered corners of the city.

Meehan's recordings document some of his collaborations and solo work. Other contributions to the material world include the construction of performance objects that serve as "compositional things." Included in this is Field Recordings, Vol 3, a folio of aural suggestions; gift iv for woodblock; and audio, a boxed set of four cassettes to be played in the mind.
