    Parker "creates communal, democratic work to examine history, systems, and behavior."[6] His projects include transportation symphonies for cars, trucks, and pedicabs; wall sculptures made from brass horns inspired by WWII-era radio schematic drawings;[7] multimedia birding excursions about the Great-Tailed Grackle[8]; massive rituals for 1.5 million bats, megaphone choir, and handmade echolocation devices[9]; listening sculptures modeled after obsolete WWII surveillance tools[10]; and public art sculptures made from bike parts and musical instruments[11].

    Early life and education[edit]

    Steve Parker was raised in the Chicago area and attended Oak Park River Forest High School. His father was a Baptist minister and his mother was a cake decorator. He studied Mathematics and Music at Oberlin College, Rice University, The University of Texas at Austin, and later as a Fulbright Scholar in Germany.[10] In Germany, he studied contemporary music with American trombonists Abbie Conant and Mike Svoboda.
