Gregory Whitehead is the writer, director and producer of more than one hundred radio plays, essays and acoustic adventures for the BBC, Radio France, Australia’s ABC, NPR and other broadcasters. His plays have won numerous major awards, including a Prix Italia for Pressures of the Unspeakable, a Prix Futura for Shake, Rattle, Roll and a Sony Gold Academy Award for The Loneliest Road. His (2005) production of Normi Noel’s No Background Music, featuring Sigourney Weaver, also received a Sony Gold Academy Award. Whitehead is a frequent performer in literary cabarets and mixed media theatre events, as well as a featured guest speaker at conferences and audio festivals throughout the US and Europe. He has collaborated with Zaven Paré, Mark Sussman and Allen Weiss on a Theater of the Ears, and has also experimented with small-scale puppet and toy theaters. In 2001, shortly before 9/11, he created a video installation at Location One gallery titled Delivery System No. 1, which explored the complicity of synchronized media heads within the rhythms of catastrophe. His 2003 imaginary documentation of a fictive Bone Trade, centered on the buying and selling of celebrity body parts, was installed at Mass Moca, and appears to have inspired a variety of entrepreneurial initiatives. Whitehead is co-editor of the influential anthology of writings on the history of radio and audio art, Wireless Imagination: sound radio and the avant-garde, and the author of numerous essays that explore the politics and paradoxes of radiophonic space, as well as the diverse absurdities of the moment. As a vocalist, Whitehead has performed in numerous ensembles since his days as a boy soprano. He presently sings with Boston Harmony, and retains a strong interest in the world’s varied traditions of polyphony.
