Christopher Tignor graduated Bard College in 1998, studying electronic music with Richard Teitelbaum and poetry with John Ashbery, and received his M.S. from the NYU computer science program in 2003. He is currently a PhD candidate in the music composition program at Princeton University. His primary compositional interests involve electronic chamber music, most notably for his ensemble SlowSix, much of which employs live processing of instrumentalists via homegrown software instruments. Dedicated to the exploration of interdisciplinary art forms, he has collaborated with a wide range of artists from poetry to dance as a composer, violinist, programmer, and poet.
Dan Trueman plays and composes for a variety of violins, including the
6-string electric violin, the Norwegian Hardanger fiddle, and the
Bowed-Sensor-Speaker-Array (BoSSA: an instrument of his own design and
construction). His electronic improvisation ensemble "interface" (with
Curtis Bahn and Tomie Hahn) has performed widely; their first CD, "./swank,"
was released by c74 Records in early 2001, and this past December they
released a DVD of improvisations and dance pieces—"Recording Field, H"—with
guest Pauline Oliveros, on the Deep Listening label. His duo "Trollstilt"
(with guitarist Monica Mugan) released its first CD of original tunes in
2000, inspired by his activities as a traditional Hardanger fiddler, and has
performed widely at both contemporary music festivals (such as the
Bang-on-a-Can Marathon) and folk music festivals (in Norway and the US). As
a composer of concert music, Dan recently completed commissions from the
American Composers Forum (Hardanger fiddle and orchestra), the Society for
New Music (electronic chamber ensemble), and the Tarab Cello Ensemble (8
cellos). He teaches composition and electronic music at Princeton
University. music.princeton.edu/~dan
