Composer (born in 1982)
American Ashley Fure is a composer of acoustic and electroacoustic music intended to be heard in concert halls and the creator of multimedia installations. Considered "raw, primal" and "highly likable" by the New York Times, her work explores the kinetic source of sound, revealing the muscular act of musical production and the chaotic behavior of crude acoustic material. Fure holds a PhD in musical composition from Harvard and has worked as an assistant professor in sound art at Dartmouth College since 2015.
Her recent projects include: The Force of Things: An Opera for Objects (2016), immersive intermedia opera commissioned by the International Contemporary Ensemble, ound to the Bow (2016), for orchestra and electronics commissioned by the NY PHIL BINNIAL, and Feed Forward (2015) for large ensemble commissioned by Klangforum Wien.
