Greenlee is a sound and electronic media artist. In recent performance and installation work, he focuses on generating digital audio from graphic patterns. Via computer programs of his own design, he advances new methods for interpreting visual image as sound (graphic synthesis). Further areas of investigation evident in his work include psychoacoustic phenomena, sonic environments, sound synthesis, telecommunications, and noise. His discography includes releases on the labels: IYNGES, Load, Utech, Corleone, Vermiform, Hospital Productions, and History of the Future. Touring extensively, Greenlee has performed at venues ranging from galleries and concert halls to clubs and warehouses across the United States and Europe, and has given solo performances at festivals and conferences nationally and internationally. As a sound designer, Greenlee worked on the 2006-07 re-doings of Allan Kaprow’s 1959 work 18 Happenings in 6 Parts featured at Haus Der Kunst (2006, Munich
