Daniel A. Weymouth’s work has been described as “power-color” music. As far as “color” goes, he is a confessed lover of sound(s) — just about any kind of sound. This has led to a fascination with electroacoustic music, and experience ranging from a summer spent at Stanford’s CCRMA (Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics) to two years in Paris working at two computer-music facilities, Pierre Boulez’s IRCAM and Iannis Xenakis’ CEMAMu. The “power” half, along with other aspects — the music’s compact scale, density and pace, although probably not its harmonic language — most likely come from his ten years spent as an itinerant musician on the road, playing jazz, rock, disco (!), R&B and funk in clubs, concerts and studios. He currently plays keyboards in the Claudia Jacobs Band. He has composed for a wide variety of ensembles, using both standard and electronic instruments, including computer-interactive ones. He is a founding member of NAME (New American Music in Europe) and has been a Composer-in-Residence at Christopher Newport University, the University of Missouri, Kansas City and several times at the Lüneburg, Germany, Internationalen Studienwoche für zeitgenössische Musik. Commissions have come from the Lüneburg New Music Ensemble, the Ensemble des Deux Mondes, the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, the Stony Brook Contemporary Chamber Players, the Guild Trio and Duo Diorama, as well as numerous performers, theaters and dance companies; grants from Meet the Composer and ASCAP. His compositions have been performed throughout Europe, Asia, Canada and the United States and appear on the SEAMUS, Bridge and New World Record labels as well as with MIT Press (as part of a CD-ROM). Since 1989, he has been on the Composition faculty at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where he is has served as Chair of the Music Department, and is currently the Director of cDACT, the Consortium for Digital Arts, Culture and Technology.
