| Droki Ouro (b. 1996) is a Tennessee-based composer, researcher, and educator. Described as “patiently evocative” (George Lewis) and “unsettling, [yet] interesting” (Cycling ’74), Ouro’s music longs for the experiential allure of balance and introspection. Much of their music blends pictorial properties with organizing principles of philosophical and sociological intent. Their recent works engage disability masking and temporality as an apparatus for acoustic and electronic media.

Droki’s research interests are primarily driven by composer advocacy and DEIA. Their presentation entitled Recent Trends in Composition Calls and Competitions addresses the inequities of the call for scores, competition, and residency ecosystem through a statistical analysis of over five-hundred surveyed composition opportunities. Droki has presented Recent Trends at numerous conferences including the Northwestern University New Music Conference (NUNC!), PASIC, and New Music Gathering. They have also presented several forums on the topic at Duke University, Montana State University, and the University of Miami. They are currently developing literature with the American Composers Forum that expands on Recent Trends by distilling several short- and long-term solutions. Droki currently serves as the Director of Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity for the Millennium Composers Initiative, a non-profit dedicated to supporting developing composers through commissioning and performance opportunities. 
Droki’s music has been featured at festivals worldwide including the Aspen Music Festival, NYCEMF, and Cube Fest. Their music has been performed by Hypercube, Duo Sequenza, and ensemble vim, among others. They have held residencies with Arts Letters & Numbers and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. Their music is featured on several record labels including Navona Records, Petrichor Records, and RMN Music. Droki’s music has been selected for over one-hundred calls for scores and competitions, including prizes from the Ensemble Ibis, MAP, and Robert Avalon competitions and a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Current and upcoming projects include collaborations with the Brightfire Collective, JoULE, Ithaca College Orchestra, and jackrabbit, a digital opera fusing the model collapse of AI and corporate math with screamo and breakcore. 

Originally from the Washington D.C. area, Droki holds a BM in Music from Virginia Commonwealth University, an MM in Composition from Ohio University, and a DMA from the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music. Droki currently serves as an Assistant Professor of Music Technology where they teach courses in computer music programming, sound design, synthesis, instrument modeling, studio recording, digital art, and composition. Droki has studied composition with Lansing McLoskey, Dorothy Hindman, Juraj Kojs, Tania Leon, George Lewis, Robert McClure, and Maria Schneider.

Lyric tenor with broad repertoire and focus on awareness of style and language. Works with Opera, Oratory, Chamber Music and Concerts.

Douglas Boyce writes chamber music that draws on Medieval and Renaissance traditions and modernist aesthetics, building rich rhythmic structures that shift between order, fragmentation, elegance, and ferocity.  His approach is deeply historical and broadly philosophical.  Many of his works have an direct historical touchstone, such as his  Etude on 'Pymalion qui moult subtilz estoit' (A Book of Etudes, Quire 4, No. 1) which features quotations of and elaborations on music from 15th century Cyprus, or La Deploration for clarinet, violin, and cello, which couples Josquin's lament on the death of Ockeghem with works of his own teacher Robert Suderburg, synthesizing jazz and Renaissance approaches. Other works draw on sources from antiquity, such as the string quartet Alcyone, a partially spoken setting of a tale of Ovid's Metamorphoses, or Tethys, a violin concerto which links the sea-goddess to geological time and tectonic change.
Literature and philosophy are also significant points of articulation: The Winter Journey, a current project commissioned from the ensemble Yarn|wire, is based on a short story by George Perec; the story itself  takes the form of a 19th century fairytale of memory and loss, and so the new composition will involve transformation of the French and German art-song tradition of the 19th and early 20th century. A song cycle focused on settings of American poets (Jorie Graham, BJ Ward, Wallace Stevens) entwines with the poems fragments from philosophers (James, Aristotle, Husserl, Bergson). The piano trio 'Fortuitous Variations' draws upon the language of William James and C.S. Peirce in inspiration, organization, character markings, and movement titles. This approach and the works themselves connect to many aspects of the scholarship in the humanities, including history, anthropology, literary studies, and philosophy. 
His works have been praised many times in the press.  Regarding his Quintet “l’homme armé”, Allan Kozinn wrote “he couches [the medieval melody] in such thoroughly modern scoring that the ear is lured to other things, including the juxtaposition of eerie string writing with playful material for the clarinet and piano, or the lively interplay among all five instruments.” (The New York Times March 12, 2005.) Regarding A Book of Songs (2006), the Stephen Brookes wrote “[they] can only be described as drop-dead beautiful. Easily the most captivating works on the program, these songs of love and death are extraordinarily well written and insightful.” (The Washington Post May 23, 2006)  Regarding La Déploration, Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim wrote that "...the violinist, cellist... and clarinetist... spread out throughout the crypt. Against vaporous harmonics and ghostly fragments of Renaissance music played by the strings, [a] warm, clear clarinet announced itself as very much alive as it sashayed in and out of blues territory and laughed in the face of their mournful keening." (The New York Times May 17, 2015.)
He has been awarded the League of Composers ISCM Composers Award (2005), the Salvatore Martirano Prize (2006), and the Robert Avalon Prize (2010), and a Fromm Commission (2012). He is a MacDowell Fellow in Winter 2017, and an Avaloch Music Farm Fellow in Fall 2017. His music has been performed by  counter)induction, Aeolus Quartet, Inscape Chamber Orchestra, Redlight Music, Dan Lippel, Robert Baker, Trio Cavatina, Edge Ensemble/Contemporary Music Forum (DC), pianists Ieva Jokubaviciute (Shenandoah University), Alice Belem (State University of Minas Gerais), and Ning Yu; cellists Elise Pittenger (Federal University of Minas Gerais) and Schuyler Slack (Richmond Symphony) and Lori Barnett (George Washington University); and clarinetists David Jones (Washington National Opera), Benjamin Fingland (Dorian Winds).
He is a founding member, curator, and composer-in-residence of counter)induction, a composer/performer collective active in the New York region (www.counterinduction.com).

I have been interested in writing my own music since I was very young (5 or 6 years old) and was encouraged by my first piano teacher, Greta Westfelt. I studied musicology at the universities in Gothenburg and in Stockholm, and I also have a background from science, IT and engineering studies. Many of my musical works can be purchased online as printouts of sheet music from a couple of websites. I write, arrange and make demo tracks of classical, modern classical, jazz, folk, electronic and pop music.
