ANDREW STERMAN
Woodwind
Described by Houston Arts as “fresh” and
“beautiful” with a “delivery that is captivating
and true,” Eleonor’s music has been featured
in film and on radio, and is available on Koch
International, One Soul Records, ERM Media, and
Albany Record labels. Her music is performed
around the world and has been featured on a
wide range of festivals, from the Philadelphia
Fringe Festival to the Totally Huge New Music
Festival in Perth. Much of her recent works,
both with and without electronics, are for
choreographed musicians, a genre that she has
created to enlarge the musical and emotional
meaning of the music through a hybrid form
that merges and expands the choreography
of playing with the actual music-making.
In addition to creating the choreographed
musician genre, she has invented the Wonder
Suit, a wearable wireless sensor system that
triggers electronic events and processes in her
choreographed pieces. A founding member of
the improvising composer-driven Ensemble 50,
She is at the same time one of New York’s preeminent new music pianists, with performances
and premieres of new works by a wide range
of composers from Egberto Gismonti to Philip
Glass. She has recorded for CRI, Nonesuch,
One Soul Records, New World Records, Mode
Records, and Orange Mountain Music, and plays
concerts throughout the world. She is currently
managed by Price Rubin & Partners.
