Vincent Eoppolo is an American composer from Wilmington, Delaware. Eoppolo’s compositions are a mix of various sound art traditions such as musique concrete, acousmatic music, electro-acoustic music and radio art. Eoppolo began composing and recording his compositions in the early 1980’s shortly after the development of MIDI and the introduction of affordable home computers. During the 1980’s, Eoppolo’s compositions were regularly featured on local college radio stations and his works were reviewed in Keyboard Magazine and Computer Music Journal in the 1990’s. Recently his works have been presented at the New York City Electro-Acoustic Music Festival, the Bushwick Open Studio Festival in Brooklyn, Utopie Sonore in Nantes, France and De Natura Sonorum in Rome, Italy. In addition to the live presentations, his compositions have appeared on CD releases by independent music label Meticulous Midgets and have been heard on new music radio programs in France, Italy, Spain, Canada, Ireland, Scotland and the USA.
Cinema in the form of organized sound - this collection of compositions were drawn from works that were composed during the past 5 years. Each work is a 2 channel stereo recording that was created by Eoppolo in his home studio “Eclipse”. The compositions, like most of Eoppolo’s compositions are a melting pot of techniques including musique concrete, acousmatic music and electro-acoustic music. Synthesizers such as the Buchla Music Easel, Moog Grandmother, Yamaha S90, TG77 and TX802 were used along with a modular system that features modules such as Mutable Instrument’s Elements, the Serge NTO oscillator and Waveshaper and the Verbos Complex and Harmonic Oscillators. In addition to hardware synthesis, Eoppolo uses software such as ApeSoft’s Idensity Granular Synthesis IOS app and GRM Tools Complete music creation software along with Logic Pro X.
