Jackson A. Waters is an award-winning concert and film composer. As a recipient of the Steinhardt Scholarship at New York University, he studied under Julia Wolfe, Justin Dello Joio, and Shelley Washington. Jackson's compositional style has garnered recognition and awards such as the NYYS Jon Deak First Music Chamber Grand Prize Winner, Emerging Black Composers Project Finalist, Salastina Sounds Promising Winner, American Composers Orchestra Earshot Finalist, NYU Orchestra Composer Residency Winner, and more.
Internationally, Jackson has worked with Beata Hlavenkova and the S.V.A Trio in Prague, recording in historic venues such as the 13th-century St. Nicholas Church. His progressive approach to concert music includes integrating audio sampling and real-time audience interaction through their mobile devices, expanding the possibilities of live performance.
Waters’ work extends to the fine arts, collaborating with painter Ari Kim on Mae-Deup (매듭), a multi-sensory gallery exhibition exploring the concept of In-Yeon (인연), writing original music for each painting accessible via Bluetooth beacons that allowed audiences to experience the music in direct relation to the artwork.
