Daniel M. Koppelman
Born
in New York and raised in California, Daniel
Koppelman has gained experience with many different musical
traditions—classical and popular, composed and improvised,
acoustic and electronic—which has led him to explore their
intersections in search of new possibilities for performing, teaching,
and creating music. Koppelman's current performance interests include
various real-time controllers in conjunction with Cycling '74's
Max/MSP and STEIM's LiSa (live sampling) software, digital signal
processing of acoustic piano, and the multiple keyboard ensemble
duo runedako (with Ruth Neville). He has recorded for CRI, New World
Records, Neuma Records, Capstone, SEAMUS and C74; he recently released
Escapement,
a 2-disc CD/DVD set of 21st Century music for piano and electronics.
Koppelman has been a resident artist at STEIM in Amsterdam, the
Institute of Sonology in The Hague, and the Center for Research
in Computing and the Arts in La Jolla, CA. In 2005 he received a
major "Career Enhancement" award from the Mellon Foundation,
to pursue a live sampling project.
