As our compositional careers progress, it’s good to sometimes reflect on process and productivity, and think about how we arrived at the present moment as a creative individual, composer, and musician. This presentation reflects on my compositional process and and describes how I began composing acoustic music, abandoned it for electroacoustics, and now have come to a “middle ground” where I compose both acoustic and electroacoustic music.
Acclaimed as one of the “contemporary masters of the medium” by MIT Press’s Computer Music Journal, electroacoustic composer Elainie Lillios creates works that reflect her fascination with listening, sound, space, time, immersion and anecdote. Her compositions include stereo, multi channel, and Ambisonic fixed media works, instrument(s) with live interactive electronics, collaborative experimental audio/visual animations, and installations.
