Ethan Isaac
Ethan Isaac (b.1996) whose music has been described as "Post-revolutionary" and "an almost Elgarian sweep of broad melody" (New York Classical Review) is a composer that deals with topics from Russian novels to urban planning. By fusing alchemical audio processes with conventional notation they are able to realize a new musical future. They attained their B.A at Bard College and M.A at Rutgers University where they studied under Kyle Gann, Matt Sargent, Robert Aldridge, and Scott Ordway. Currently attending the University of Pittsburgh as a PhD student under Eric Moe, Ethan teaches undergraduates and researches new methods of realizing just intonation music.
Ethan has had the pleasure of working as an audio engineer under producers Jamey Lamar, and Marlan Barry. They have recorded various jazz and classical performers such as Arturo Sandoval, Branford Marsalis, Tommy Emmanuel, the Dover Quartet, and members of the LA Philharmonic, Baltimore Symphony, MET Orchestra.
This year, Ethan participated in the SPLICE Institute in Kalamazoo, MI and the Sō Percussion Summer Institute at Princeton University for a second time, premiering three new works, Waypoints, Tension:Release, and Ouroboros.
