About Me

Bryan Teoh is a composer, instrumentalist, sound designer, and new media artist. With a conservatory background in classical and jazz performance/composition, Bryan has worked in several professional musical and new media environments. His compositions have been used in film, video games, modern dance, art installations/openings, and documentaries. Instrumental performances often employ his 17 years of training on guitar as well as his unique approach to live use of the laptop.

Bryan uses max/msp to create the software for his electronic and electro-acoustic work, and in recent years has fostered an interest in software design for video processing and performance via jitter. He has created live video environments for himself and a variety of video artists which have been used both in theater as well as purely musical venues.

Bryan currently resides in Brooklyn NY where he continues to freelance for various projects and pursue personal ventures in new media.
