Pedestrian Deposit is a longstanding sound and performance project formed in 2000. The collaborative effort of Shannon A. Kennedy and Janine Borges is best described as visceral and intense; narrative and highly composed, often abstract sound textures informed by elements of experimental sound, shoegaze, harsh noise, musique concrete, neo-classical, dark ambient and performance art.

Beginning with harsh noise compositions and early computer-based cut-up techniques, the project has evolved through multiple phases spanning electroacoustic minimalism, digital composition, amplified sculptural objects, and carefully structured dynamics that traverse the full range of sonic intensity.

From 2008, Pedestrian Deposit has operated as a duo with Shannon Kennedy, whose contributions of extended cello technique, movement, and performance through physically-activated handmade instruments and amplified sculptures using strings, wood and metal, brought a critical shift in presence and sonic scope. Together, their live performances are known for being unrelenting and emotionally immersive; a dynamic and deliberate presence defined by precise, layered electroacoustic textures, high-pressure silence and explosive sonic chaos, pushing both composition and endurance to aesthetic limits.
