Stefanie L. Ku’s Bio

Stefanie L. Ku (also known as Kukie Matter, s.L.k. and Silverslik) is a San Francisco-based intermedia artist dedicated to the sculpting, faceting, and polishing of sound and image.

Stefanie began her musical career at the tender age of 5 studying the piano on a booster chair. She has studied piano under Betty Oberacker and composition under Jeremy Haladyna and Curtis Roads. After years of dedicating herself to the study of music, Stefanie began venturing into intermedia (audio, visual, and tactile information and the way they interact with one another) while pursuing a master of arts degree at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and have since been performing in various international new media festivals (Sounding Taipei – Taipei, Consciousness Reframed as presented by the Planetary Collegium – Beijing, Get It Louder – Shanghai, Sonoimágenes – Buenos Aires) as well as throughout California (CCRMA – Stanford, Woodstockhausen – Santa Cruz, 21 Grand – Oakland, The Luggage Store Series – San Francisco, Noise Pancake – San Francisco). 

Stefanie is currently concentrating on transmuting her visions from the dimensionless realm of pure thought into a more accessible language, one that could actually be realized and communicated.
