Phillip White

Phillip White will compose a new work for the Dither electric guitar quartet that will feature custom built electronics based on a small arduino and a set of four relays that is programmed to overlay a rhythmic structure and a brutish spatialization of sound. The score will be a graphic work instructing the quartet in the manipulation of assigned parameters over time. In addition to his work with analog and digital electronics, White has written extensively for chamber ensembles and created a large body of intermedia pieces that explore meaning in information transmission. In 2008, Philip received his MFA in Electronic and Recorded Media from Mills College where he worked with Chris Brown, Hilda Parades, Helmut Lachenmann, Roscoe Mitchell and James Fei. Currently Philip is the Technical Director at ISSUE Project Room.
