Daniel Wohl is a composer of electronic and acoustic music based in Brooklyn. Born and raised in Paris, France, he began by playing fourhanded improvisations at the piano and performing with various bands. Today, his music is geared towards exploring musical processes and textures, while also integrating the use of found sounds and electronics in many of his pieces. Influenced by contemporary art and imagery, as well as experimental rock and electronica, his compositions have been played around the country by ensembles and performers such as the American Symphony Orchestra, the Da Capo Chamber Players, St Luke's Chamber Ensemble, the University of Michigan Philharmonic, featuring performers such as Tara Helen O'Connor and Todd Reynolds. Awards include prizes and commissions from ASCAP, NY Look & Listen, St Luke's Orchestra, the Definiens Project C3 competition, Meet the Composer, and the Brooklyn Arts Council for his work with the TRANSIT ensemble. As an electronic musician, his music has been used in commercials, films and documentaries.
Most recently, he was a featured composer in both Da Capo's Sonic Youth at Symphony Space concert, and St Luke's Chamber Ensemble 2nd Helpings series at the Chelsea Art Museum and DIA, Beacon. This year he has been granted a 2008 ASCAP Morton Gould Award for his orchestra piece Helium.
Daniel Wohl completed his Master's Degree at the University of Michigan School of Music, studying with Bright Sheng and William Bolcom, and Bard College with Joan Tower. He has also studied with Julia Wolfe, David Lang, and Michael Gordon at the Bang on a Can Summer Institute, as well as privately with Christopher Theophanidis.
