IEA Resident Artist Trevor New
The Institute for Electronic Arts (IEA) announces an exciting line up of resident artists in the Fall semester 2024. Trevor is a composer, classically trained Violist, and technologist that explores many contexts through music, visuals, and storytelling.His current projects are focused on exploring how we are connected, how we can make music and together, in-person or not, and how these connections can effect the time and space we see as separate. As the artistic director of Enjinn Arts he brings these opportunities into an educational setting through regular work with school music programs in the northeast United States and workshops connecting from around the world. Apart from writing for orchestra and smaller ensembles his work as a sound designer, engineer/producer, and performer can be found in a variety of media, including film scores, arranging, electronic music, TV. In a Timeout New York review of a recent production of the play "Your Hair Looked Great" his music was described as "Smartly Scored". Trevor designs performances playing his viola, using electronics, looping and effects, and creating real-time synchronized multi-location networked performances with people around the world.
The IEA is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, The New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature, the Schein-Joseph Endowment and the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr Foundation.
