Composer/Pianist

Matthew Monaco (b. 1997) is a composer of acoustic and electroacoustic music. He is currently a Ph.D. candidate at the University of California, Berkeley. In 2022, Matthew received his master’s degree from the Conservatoire de Paris (CNSMDP), where he studied composition with Stefano Gervasoni and electronic music with Yan Maresz, Luis Naon, et Grégoire Lorieux. In May 2020, he received his Bachelor of Music from the New England Conservatory, where he studied with Stratis Minakakis, minoring in music theory.

His works have been performed in the United States and Europe by groups such as Ensemble intercontemporain, Ensemble l’Itinéraire, Ensemble Court-circuit, the Callithumpian Consort, the Del Sol Quartet, the Brouwer Trio, members of Ensemble Linea, the Orchestre des lauréats du Conservatoire (of the Paris Conservatory), and others. Matthew’s music has been performed by conductors such as Hugh Wolff, Jean Deroyer, Stephen Drury, and Léo Margue, and featured in festivals including ManiFeste and Voix Nouvelles. His work with electronics has been performed in venues including Ircam, UC Berkeley’s CNMAT, and Stanford University’s CCRMA. Matthew served as Composer-in-Residence for the newly-formed Alinéa Ensemble during their inaugural season (2019-2020).

He has had masterclasses and lessons from composers including Kaija Saariaho, Tristan Murail, Philippe Leroux, Francesco Filidei, Philippe Manoury, Francesca Verunelli, Toshio Hosokawa, and Du Yun. From 2018-2020, Matthew co-curated NEC’s contemporary music series “Tuesday Night New Music”, where he developed monthly programs of intimate concert evenings highlighting premieres by NEC’s composers. From 2015-2016, he interned with the New York Philharmonic, working within the Young People’s Concerts, Very Young Composers program, and other educational programs. Matthew’s initial musical training focused on piano studies, jazz, and improvised music.

Matthew’s research focuses on intersections of phenomenology and music theory, creating a space for work-specific methods in contemporary music analysis. Current research investigates musico-grammatical paradigms in the music of Cecil Taylor.

The People's United Telepathic Improvisation Front - PUTIF - are Tomomi Adachi and Jennifer Walshe. Living and working at a distance of hundreds and sometimes thousands of miles from one another, once a week Adachi and Walshe choose a specific time to make an improvisation together. Unable to hear each other normally, they listen and improvise together telepathically, synchronising only their start and end time. Adachi and Walshe each make a recording of their own improvisation and these are mixed together afterwards. They consider these improvisations "trainings" for their guerilla telepathic activities.
