Chris Humphrey (original score/sound design for Sycorax) has been involved with the Weird Sisters since 2008, but she’s been pretty weird most of her life. A classically trained composer, she has written everything from musical theater (for puppets, no less!) to sacred choral works to film scores to abstract electronica. She plays traditional instruments like bassoon and recorder in Heralds and Minstrels (a renaissance/baroque ensemble) and not-so-traditional instruments like didgeridoo and kinoor in the Annoying Instrument Orchestra (world ethnic ensemble). When she’s not making music, she acts in theater and film, creates costumes and props, choreographs dance numbers, and generally tries her hand at whatever creative opportunity catches her imagination.
