We are excited to work with Finalist Eric on his piece To the Bone. We asked Eric to tell us a little more about himself and his composing.
I am a multidisciplinary composer and performer originally hailing from Austin, Texas. Now based in London, I am completing Master of Music degree at the Royal Academy of Music under the direction of Helen Grime and David Sawer. I initially began my studies as a mechanical engineer and French Horn player, before finding my way into composition while at the University of Oklahoma. I enjoy working in small motivic spaces, generating intricate and interconnected pieces from limited source material or strict programmatic guidelines. Much of my recent and upcoming concert work explores the relationship between music and memory, across both acoustic and electronic mediums. Recent collaborations include work with the Riot Ensemble, PHACE ensemble, Trio Immersio, and the Sydney Contemporary Orchestra.
