Annie Gosfield

Annie Gosfield is a composer whose work combines notated and improvised music, electronic and acoustic sounds. During her New Works Residency she will create a large-scale spatialized work inspired by the processes, perceptions, and sounds of jammed radio signals. Fragments of the original rare recordings will be used, from abstract timbres to text-based transmissions. She will also reference the jamming process by digitally altering the sounds of acoustic instruments, with elements shifting in a sound field where music, noise, and pure signal meld and collide. The end result will be displayed in NYC and Prague. Active as a writer and teacher, she is a regular contributor to the New York Times series “The Score,” and has been the Milhaud Professor of composition at Mills College, a visiting lecturer at Princeton University and a visiting artist at Cal Arts.
