Miguel Frasconi is a composer, improvisor, and performer who uses electronics and a menagerie of glass objects to create music from a uniquely imagined tradition. His glass instruments are struck, blown, stroked and otherwise coaxed into vibration. Miguel has worked closely with composers John Cage, Jon Hassell, James Tenney, Morton Subotnick, and has collaborated with many choreographers, including modern dance pioneer Anna Halprin. He was a founding member of The Glass Orchestra, the internationally renowned new music ensemble featuring all glass instruments, and is presently the director of the new music ensemble Ne(x)tworks. He also teaches electronic music at Bard College. More info at frasconimusic.com
