eldritch priest is an Ottawa-based composer and PhD candidate in Cultural Mediations at Carleton University. He previously studied music at University of Victoria. These days eldritch is composing impossibly long melodies, long poems, and writing a dissertation on the notion that music is a virus. His works have been performed by numerous ensembles and soloists including: The New York Miniaturist Ensemble, Arraymusic, Continuum, The Canadian Composers Orchestra, The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, The Ensemble of the Conservatory of Amsterdam, Studio für Bewegungs Chiffren, neither/nor, The Fernwood Difficult Music Society, Eric km Clark, Roger Admiral, Rebecca Van der Post, and Marc Couroux.
"It is the listener in his/her capacity as co-creator (pace Duchamp and Cage) wherein eldritch’s progressive ethics can be gleaned: art as open dialogue, subversion, dehierarchization—a means of returning the listener’s sense of the world to one imbued with wonder and amazement. His eccentrically inventive forms and reconfigurations of idioms are but two acute indicators of an unerring ability to scumble the waters of easy semantic sailing, drawing the listener into a convulsive, rhizomic zone of inquiry." -- Marc Couroux (2007)
