Keith Eisenbrey is a native of the Puget Sound area. He studied composition with Dell Wade, Ken Benshoof, John Rahn, and Benjamin Boretz, and piano with Victor Smiley, Joan Purswell, and Neal O’Doan. He is a charter member of The Barrytown Orchestra, an interactive music-making ensemble based in Barrytown, New York, and is a cofounder of Banned Rehearsal, an ongoing argument in creative musical expression, now in its 24th year. His critical and theoretical work has appeared in Perspectives of New Music, News of Music, and Open Space Magazine, and he assisted in the editing of Boretz’s Meta-Variations: Studies in the Foundations of Musical Thought for its recent republication. His compositions have been performed in such far-off places as: Tambov, Russia; Oak Harbor; Olympia; and Capitol Hill. His oeuvres includes solo pieces for various keyboards, songs, chamber works, and compositions for digital media. He lives in the Maple Leaf neighborhood of Seattle with his wife Karen and their two boys, John and Isaac. Inspired by a mysterious and majestical whimsy, the music of Keith Eisenbrey explores the vast arcane recesses of human imagination. Cerebral and sensuous, remorselessly speculative, his music seeks to illuminate those most intimate of our personal spaces: the silences across which, in which, and out from which music, thought, and utterance unfold. more
