Nerve Theory reveals the trauma and in its unique 'news music' offers strategies for recovering minds incapacitated by command automatism. Loibner and Sherman have been dealing with the psychology of alienated, dislocated individuals in their collaborative voice/music works since 1993. Bernhard Loibner is a composer, musician and sound freak based in Vienna, Austria. Tom Sherman, based in Syracuse, NY, where he teaches media production and theory courses at Syracuse University, specializes in improvisational monologues for radio and live performance. Loibner and Sherman formed Nerve Theory in 1998.
