Eric Chasalow (1955, USA) is a composer, sound artist, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, teacher, and advisor to non-profits. He is especially well known for works that combine instruments with electronic sound, but has collaborated with other musicians and artists to create a wide range of projects. ARRAY, the journal of the International Computer Music Association, has written that his music…“clearly establishes him as one of the leaders of our times…offer(ing) a wondrous fusion between distinct styles and mediums, …” Two CD compilations were released in 2015 and a library edition of the complete scores and tapes for instrument and tape was released that same year in celebration of his 60th birthday. An album of ten new genre-bending songs, Ghosts of Our Former Selves was released in the fall of 2020. He is currently at work on a violin concerto for Miranda Cuckson and a new song cycle about climate change. Eric’s music is programmed throughout the world, with recent performances in Berlin, Boston, La Paz, Los Angeles, Milan, New York, Rome, and San Francisco.
