Jason Thorpe Buchanan is a tri-continentally active composer, intermedia artist, and technologist. His works explore multiplicity, causality, behavior, and the integration of live performance with technology. In 2025, he was appointed Professor für Komposition mit digitalen Medien at the Hochschule für Musik Würzburg, Germany, and leads the graduate program in Komposition mit neuen Medien as director of the Studio für experimentelle elektronische Musik. He has been recognized internationally through fellowships and commissions from the Fulbright Foundation (Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg, 2010-11) as a visiting scholar, the American-Scandinavian Foundation, EMPAC, Royaumont (France, 2016 & 2017), TIME SPANS (NYC), the Mizzou International Composers Festival (MICF, 2013), the International Horn Society, Eklekto Percussion (Switzerland), Tetractys New Music (Austin), Tzlil Meudcan, the Earle Brown Music Foundation, two ASCAP Morton Gould Awards (2014 & 2015), Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung, as winner of Iron Composer (2014), the Howard Hanson Orchestral Prize (2014) and more, including selection as Artist-in-Residence at USF Verftet (Norway), the Embassy of Foreign Artists (Geneva), the Brush Creek Foundation (Wyoming), nomination for the 2015 Gaudeamus Prize, as a 2024 Aaron Copland Bogliasco Fellow (Italy), and as an SWR Experimentalstudio Fellow (Germany, 2026). His works have been described as “an unearthly collage of sounds”, “sharply-edged”, and “free jazz gone wrong—in a good way.”
     Commissions and performances have included collaborations with Alarm Will Sound, the Talea Ensemble, Ensemble Interface (DE), Ensemble Nikel (Israel), Linea (FR), Insomnio (NL), EXAUDI Vocal Ensemble (UK), Slagwerk Den Haag (NL), Eklekto Percussion (CH), the Mivos Quartet (USA), Iktus Percussion, wild Up, the Eastman Musica Nova Ensemble, TACETi (Thailand), the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble, and Line Upon Line. Scenes from his multimedia opera Hunger have received performances at the Internationales Musikinstitut Darmstadt, The Industry’s FIRST TAKE in L.A., and MATA (NYC) with the [Switch~ Ensemble]. “Hunger is a kind of training session in mental disintegration… An ungodly opera needs ugly music, singers who produce primal sounds, an electric guitar that sounds scraped raw, a wailing orchestra effects, cuts the ear like a knife. Buchanan delivers.” – L.A. Times
     He serves as Artistic Director of the [Switch~ Ensemble] since 2012, Artistic Associate and Lecturer in New Media and Digital Technologies for Music at the Hochschule für Musik ‘Carl Maria von Weber’ Dresden, Germany within the Hybrid Music Lab (DE) since 2022, and Faculty Artist of the IntAct Festival’s International Composition Institute of Thailand since 2019.

His mentors have included Ricardo Zohn-Muldoon, Steven Takasugi, Pierluigi Billone, Chaya Czernowin, and Georges Aperghis.
     He holds a Ph.D. in Composition from the Eastman School of Music, University of Rochester, and is widely sought as a collaborator and guest composer by institutions such as the University of Chicago, Stanford University, TRANSIT Festival (Belgium), TIME SPANS Festival (NYC), the MATA Festival (NYC), the Grieg Academy at the University of Bergen (Norway), Yong Siew Toh Conservatory (Singapore), the SinusTon Festival (Germany), the Bergen Center for Elektronisk Kunst, UC Santa Barbara, and dozens of Universities throughout the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Current projects include a cello concerto for the TACETi Ensemble and Mariel Roberts, and the development of new technologies for an upcoming collaboration with Nadar Ensemble using generative audiovisual processing systems, wearable technology, and machine learning/listening for real-time analysis and reactivity.

She has produced several large-scale multimedia works, including spatial interactive audio-visual work for both concert and installation settings, often in collaboration with artists and scholars from other disciplines.

Trinity Hlynn Prater (*2000) is a southeast-American composer of acoustic and electroacoustic concert music. Prater's music has been described as being ". . . concerned with sensuousness . . ." and ". . . marked by a sensitivity to sound color, formal rigour underneath beguiling musical surfaces, and the need for new musical notations and instrumental extensions . . ." 

Prater has collaborated with musicians throughout the United States and the European Union, with soloists and large and small ensembles such as Irvine Arditti, Ensemble PHACE, the JACK Quartet,  the Ensemble Institute .abeceda and the MDR Orchester. 

Prater has composed since 2020, taking part in long-term formal study with Sivan Cohen Elias (University of Iowa), Robert Morris (Eastman School of Music), and Claus-Stephen Mahnkopf (Hochschule für Musik und Theater "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" Leipzig). Long-term informal, but no less influential teaching relationships have included Trevor Bača and Gregory Rowland Evans. Prater is currently a PhD candidate in the composition program at the University at Buffalo, where she studies with Ming Tsao.
