Steven Blake Whiteley is a Brooklyn-based composer/sound artist interested in the intersection between music composition, intermedia, audio/visual performance, spirituality and digital culture. He studied at McGill University with a degree in Music Composition and World Religions Studies. He began his formal musical training at Mannes College, The New School for Music Prep. Division, studying Composition with Eleanor Cory and Classical Trumpet with Don Batchelder. Since then, his composition mentors have included Melissa Hui, Philippe Leroux, John Rea, David Sampson, Robert Aldridge, and Ashkan Bezhadi. He also released records and toured Europe, Canada, and the USA with various indie bands. He currently works in development at New Music USA in New York City.

 

Through my work, I am interested in using relationships between sonic and visual color to create aesthetic experiences that investigate questions surrounding spirituality, the self, and the phenomenology and existentialism of digital reality.
