Joey Largent’s work focuses on exploring long-duration compositions and improvisations for acoustic ensembles and solo performance, often working with just intonation. Beyond creating music alone, his goal is to offer a space for introspection, releasing from attachment, beauty, and connection. Through site-specific work and field recording, he seeks to connect daily experience more profoundly with the impermanent harmony of the natural world. He has collaborated with numerous dancers, musicians, and interdisciplinary artists over the years, and has studied North Indian Classical singing with several disciples of Pandit Pran Nath, primarily Michael Harrison and Rose Okada, with shorter periods of study with Shabda Kahn, La Monte Young and Jung Hee Choi, and Daniel Shurman. As a result of being self-taught for much of his life, Joey plays a variety of instruments, primarily voice, rudra veena, percussion, and reed organ. A growing foundation of his artistic work is rooted in his meditation practice and ongoing search for the nature of everything.

Joey is currently living in Port Townsend, Washington.
