Jason Freeman’s works break down conventional
barriers between composers, performers, and listeners, using cutting-edge
technology and unconventional notation to turn audiences and musicians into
compositional collaborators. His music has been performed by the American
Composers Orchestra, Speculum Musicae, the So Percussion Group, the Rova Saxophone Quartet, the Nieuw
Ensemble, Le Nouvel Ensemble Moderne, and Evan Ziporyn; and his works have been featured at the Lincoln Center
Festival, the Boston CyberArt Festival, 01SJ, and the Transmediale Festival and
featured in the New York Times and on National Public Radio. N.A.G. (Network
Auralization for Gnutella) (2003), a commission from Turbulence.org, was
described by Billboard as “…an example of the web’s mind-expanding
possibilities.”
Freeman received his B.A. in music from Yale University and his M.A. and D.M.A. in composition from Columbia University. He is currently an assistant professor in the music department at Georgia Tech in Atlanta.
