Thomas Martinez is a NYC based composer and improvisational guitarist
from Los Angeles, CA. He is the recipient of the Jacob Druckman Memorial Prize for
“innovation in music composition’ and has given instruction on practices in digital
media at Harvestworks and Stonybrook University. In July he performed in a group
ensemble for Christian Marclay’s Retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American
Art. His work consists of multi-channel sound installations, compositions for
guitar/interactive dance instruments, and audio pieces using digitally processed
field recordings. The music produced in these settings evolves slowly and stresses
the ‘non-event.’ Texturized shades of various sonic elements are explored in order
to re-configure and discover the audible world.
