About Me

I am a composer, interested in all kinds of music, though I primarily compose concert pieces for chamber ensembles with electronics.

I have also been working extensively with video in the past couple of years as well as live electronics in performance. I have been performing live electronics with the group Sonict at UW-Whitewater for the past few years. More about Sonict can be found at http://sonictensemble.com

Additionally, I am the host of a weekly radio show that airs on 91.7 FM, WSUW, Whitewater, WI, which can also be found online at http://wsuw.org . The radio blog is hosted on this page. The show currently airs Tuesdays from 4-6 PM CST.

My professional blog can be found at http://bpretty.livejournal.com

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
