Alyssa Aska
Alyssa is fascinated with the architecture of music, both spatially and temporally. She composes works which explore extremes in time and space, using rigid proportions to generate forms in acoustic works and exploring the unpredictable duration and lack of control in gamified works.
She studied composition in the United States with Robert Kyr, David Crumb, and Jeffrey Stolet, in Canada with Robert Pritchard, Keith Hamel, and David Eagle, and currently studies in Graz, Austria with Marko Ciciliani and Klaus Lang.
Her works and research have been performed worldwide at conferences and festivals such as ICMC, NIME, EMS, Impuls Academy, Darmstadt Summer Courses, Musikprotokoll Graz, Tonraum21, Mikrofest Helsinki, and many others. She is also a founding member of the Graz-based Facere collective, which is dedicated to producing several unique concert events each year.
When Alyssa isn’t writing music, she publishes fiction under various pen names.
