Eric Chasalow (1955) is the rare composer who is as comfortable with electro-acoustic music as he is with traditional ensembles. Of his 2003 CD Left to His Own Devices, ARRAY, the journal of the International Computer Music Association wrote that the work “clearly establishes him as one of the leaders of our times … offering a wondrous fusion between distinct styles and mediums…” Chasalow’s music has been embraced by performers throughout the world, with recent performances from Boston to Berlin and San Francisco to Seoul. A member of the Brandeis University faculty since 1990, Chasalow directs the Brandeis Electro-Acoustic Music Studio. He produces the biennial BEAMS Electronic Music Marathon, on the Boston CyberArts Festival. Since 1996 he has curated The Video Archive of Electroacoustic Music an oral history project chronicling the pioneer electronic music composers and engineers from 1950 to the present. A product of the famed Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center, Chasalow studied composition with Mario Davidovsky and flute with Harvey Sollberger. He has been honored by the Guggenheim Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, the Fromm Foundation at Harvard, the New York Foundation for the Arts, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. eric@ericchasalow.com
