I'm a post-acoustic, post-modern composer. That means I write music for a variety of performers - sometimes, the group looks "classical" (I hate that term), like a string quartet or piano, but it never sounds classical (sometimes I use the term post-classical to describe what I do). There's almost always an electronic component (hence the 'post-acoustic'), often someone onstage with a Mac laptop running a program I've created in the Max/MSP environment.My music blurs distinctions between peformers and electronics, timbre and harmony, composition and improvisation, and explores the boundaries of what may be considered post-classical concert music. My music is vibrant and visceral, full of rhythmic energy and harmonic sophistication, and my use of live electronics lead to exciting combinations of instruments and processed sound.My music has been played throughout the US (mainly in NYC and the Northeast), Europe, Japan, and South America. I've been featured on concerts and festivals such as the Darmstadt Summer Festival, the Wellesley Composers Conference, and the Spark Festival of Electronic Music.You can read more about me at: www.anthonycornicello.com . I also have a blog that is music related.
