Nordschow (born Los Angeles, California 1969) was a composer, performer and transdisciplinary artist. Renowned musicians including members of the Janacek Philharmonic, Apartment House, Ictus, Essential Music, pianoduo Post & Mulder, the Bugallo/Williams duo, Fred Frith, Daan Vandewalle, and Tosiya Suzuki have performed his music throughout the United States and Europe. His music draws upon elements and concepts associated with the visual arts rather than musical tradition.In addition to gallery exhibitions of his sound and visual work, Nordschow created performance art in a variety of contexts. He participated in several international music festivals, including Music at the Anthology 2002 Festival, Ostrava New Music Days 2001, the International Gaudeamus Music Week 2000, Voix Nouvelles, New Music Miami, and June in Buffalo. He participated in workshops and master classes with composers Brian Ferneyhough, Vinko Globokar, Toshio Hosokawa, Bernard Rands, Kevin Volans, and others. He has received grants from Meet the Composer, the French Ministere de la Culture, the Dutch Ministries of Culture and Foreign Affairs, as well as commissions from Daan Vandewalle, Essential Music and MATA. He was awarded two alumni scholarships from Mills College, where he studied composition with Alvin Curran and Pauline Oliveros.
