Ethan Frederick Greene

Composer

Ethan Frederick Greene created music and sound art for the concert hall, gallery, stage and screen. His work spanned a wide range of styles and genres, including: instrumental, vocal and electroacoustic chamber music; opera and orchestral works; sound design, score and audio installation; and hip-hop, rock and electronica. Projects before his untimely death in the fall of 2015 included "Perception Unfolds," a multimedia installation and iOS app with choreographer Deborah Hay; and music and sound design for the video games "Waking Mars" and "Spider: the Secret of Bryce Manor" (Tiger Style Games). Ethan received commissions from ensembles and performers around the world, including the Houston Grand Opera, East Coast Contemporary Ensemble, FETA, Opera Southwest and line upon line percussion, and awards and selections from ICMC, SEAMUS, SCI and ASCAP. He received his D.M.A. in Composition from the University of Texas at Austin; M.Mus. in Composition from Rice University; and B.A. in Music from Amherst College. A passionate advocate of social justice, both Ethan and his music will be missed.
