Current project at Nanoscapesfilm.com

Kristina Dutton is composer and media artist whose work moves fluidly between sound, image, and earthbound observation. Drawing upon her conservatory education, she has explored various musical genres, contributing to more than 50 recordings and performing at such venues as Chicago's Symphony Center, The MCA, BAMFA, The Pritzker Pavilion, and The David Letterman Show.

With experience in concert performance, music education, and science journalism, she has created a lyrical, observational, and philosophically curious body of work. Her compositions and films, which have received awards from organizations like New Music USA and The Andy Warhol Foundation, craft unconventional connections between art and science, aiming to create a balance between our sensory experiences and intellectual curiosity. Her current film project, Nanoscapes Films, is widely exhibited at festivals, museums, and galleries internationally.

Kristina grew up in Chicago and now lives at the edge of Point Reyes National Seashore, overlooking Tomales Bay. She loves to collaborate.
