COMPOSER BIO :
Mark So is a Los Angeles-based composer and musician, enjoying life under rent control with a "bad" car and no cell phone. Originally from Syracuse, he graduated Pomona College and received his master's degree in composition from CalArts. His teachers have included Michael Pisaro, Thomas Flaherty, Annetta Kaplan, James Tenney, Sara Roberts, Christian Wolff and Stephen "Lucky" Mosko. In the last 5 years, he has written over 500 pieces, including the extensive Ashbery series, readings and empires, pursuing the unforeseen in subtly reduced scenarios of musical choice and action, while exploring the space and setting of music in new ways. Mostly text-based and strongly influenced by the New York School, Fluxus and the Wandelweiser composers group, his work explores varied open "theaters" of the sensible by scoring experimental engagements with faint, passing subtleties of continuity and arrangement (time and harmony) that often demand extreme attention, in and around changing experiences of silence.
