NOAH CRESHEVSKY
ABOUT THE ARTIST/BIOGRAPHY
Trained in composition by Nadia Boulanger in Paris and Luciano Berio at Juilliard, Noah Creshevsky (b. 1945) is the former director of the Center for Computer Music and Professor Emeritus at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York. His musical vocabulary consists largely of familiar bits of words, songs, and instrumental music that are edited but rarely subjected to electronic processing. The result is a music that obscures the boundaries of real and imaginary ensembles though the fusion of opposites: music and noise, comprehensible and incomprehensible vocal sources, human and superhuman vocal and instrumental capacities..

NOAH CRESHEVSKY / Hyperrealism"I do not exaggerate when I say that I have never heard anything like Noah Creshevsky's music before - though I can hear the ghost of Berio lurking in there. This music is uncompromising. It has a robust sense of humor." - American Record Guide
