Composer, musician, video designer, and interdisciplinary artist Curtis Peel has
received his BM in Composition from the University of Colorado at Boulder. He
currently lives in Brooklyn.
Curtis’s distinctive compositional style explores the ways in which sound can be
re-conceived, manipulated, and imaginatively presented with the help of
computers while retaining its organic, human element. In August of 2007, Curtis
released his self-produced experimental album “wings on Thursday, an innovative
blending of acoustic music with computer effects and programing. In September
of 2008, Curtis released a rock album recorded with his Boulder based band,
livingRoom.
Curtis has also produced several digital, experimental films that strike a delicate
balance between technology and unaltered digital imagery. A segment of his short
film, “tightrope with tongue (2007),” was shown at the 2007 New West Electro-
Acoustic Music Organization Festival. In October his film for “Grand Canyon
Hymns”, a collaborative project with composer Dan Kellogg, was premiered at the
Smithsonian Art Museum in Washington D.C. with the 21st Century Consort.
