Doug O'Grady, Composer

I am a composer whose work moves between concert music, electroacoustic music, and hybrid works that combine acoustic instruments with electronic sound. I am especially drawn to questions of form, texture, and timbre, and much of my music grows from the interaction between large-scale structure and detailed sonic surfaces. My influences include contemporary concert music, synthesis, and cinematic sound, and I am interested in creating works that can shift quickly between a sense of vast space and moments of intimacy. I teach composition, music theory, audio production, and electronic music as Professor of Music at Western Connecticut State University.
