Alexis Bhagat’s work is dedicated to the destruction of authorship and authority through the cultivation of new forms for radically poly-vocal sound, transmission of promiscuous conversation, and obsessive never-ending correspondence. Currently, Bhagat is intrigued by the "lecture" as a form ripe for intervention. He speaks and writes on anarchism, prisons, and sound art, and is a founding member of the August Sound Coalition.

New lectures include: "Lecture #4: Sound Composition as Anti-Authoritarian Writing" and "Lecture #5: Regarding Enemies (Bin Laden = Pope Pius VI)" He is editor of the zine, Tactical Sound and is co-editor, with Gregory Gangemi and Jason Quarles of “Sound Generation: Recording - Tradition - Politics,” a collection of interviews with 21 contemporary sound artists. (Forthcoming from Autonomedia.)

Notable past projects include: “Lecture #2: On the Possibility of Life without the Sun” (2004), “Whitman Death Songs” (2002), “Vehicle for Conversation” (1999-2001), and “ATM Poetry Opens” (1994). His essay “Three Theses on Contemporary Radio Practice,“ co-authored with Tianna Kennedy, was published in 2007 as part of “Radio Territories” (Errant Bodies press.)
