Elizabeth HOFFMAN composes in acoustic and electroacoustic media and teaches in the School of Arts and Science at New York University. She is increasingly interested in collaborations of multi-media that involve both fixed and improvisational elements, allowing sound to respond to a given space and to performer interaction. Prizes for her electroacoustic music have come from the Bourges and Prix Ars international competitions. She is also a recipient of NEA and MacDowell Colony award, and grants from the Jerome Foundation, the Seattle Arts Commission, and the International Computer Music Association.
