Jerry Tabor

Born: March 1, 1966

COMPOSER Jerry Tabor composes electroacoustic and experimental acoustic music, much of which is either within or extending the jazz idiom. Perhaps one of the most enduring aspects of Tabor’s music is his use of open structures that highlight unique performer, instrumental, and computer system characteristics. He believes that by designing structures in which non-intention is unrelenting, the music reveals sound as an authentic extension of whoever is acting within the structure. Such structures often control every nuance of a composition, from the articulation of individual sounds to the unfolding of form through ensemble interaction
