-Dear Graduate Selection Committee,
-.sp 0.5
-.PP
-Please accept this letter as an indication of my interest in pursuing the Ph.D. in
-composition at the Eastman School of Music. I am currently completing the MA in
-composition and Arts Leadership Certificate at Eastman, where I have studied with
-Dr. Robert Morris, Dr. David Liptak, and Dr. Matthew Barber. At Eastman, I fill a
-graduate assistant position in the Eastman Audio Research Studio. Before my time at
-Eastman, I completed the BM in composition at Pennsylvania State University, where
-I studied with Dr. Baljinder Sekhon and Dr. SC Rice. I will graduate from Eastman
-in May of 2023 and plan to begin my doctoral studies in the Fall of 2023.
-.sp 0.5
-.PP
-My compositional practice includes concert works for soloists, ensembles, and
-electronic media, as well as pieces designed for indoor or outdoor installation.
-In my composed works, I create highly organized systems to build connections
-between philosophy, design, and personal experiences of reading and hiking. Much of
-this work also communes with music from other times and places, establishing links
-and references to histories of musical culture. My compositions have been
-concertized at programs, festivals, and conferences nationally and internationally.
-My involvement at events such as the Shastra Tabla Rhythm Workshop (NJ),
-Dot-the-Line Festival (South Korea), soundSCAPE (Italy), Composing in the
-Wilderness (AK/NY), and the Vibraphone Century (PA) have created solid foundations
-and connections for future collaborations. In addition, these engagements highlight
-my involvement in the larger new-music community, building relationships with
-other composers, performers, and researchers.
-.sp 0.5
-.PP
-In addition to my productive compositional practice, I am equally committed to
-research in the field. While at Penn State, I received two undergraduate research
-awards for research involving computer music: the Peter T. Luckie Award for
-outstanding research in arts and humanities for my work
-.I "A Presence Within Reassembly"
-and the first place award in arts and humanities for my interactive work
-.I "Wears and Tears,"
-scored for clarinet and computer. Currently, I hold a graduate assistantship at
-the Eastman Audio Research Studio (EARS), where I assist in teaching introductory
-and advanced computer music students and provide sound support for various
-performances at Eastman. My work with the Eastman Audio Research Studio has
-informed the research for my written master's thesis, which focuses on teaching
-computer instrument design. Dr. Matther Barber, the EARS interim director, is
-advising my thesis research. Additionally, I am engaged in an ongoing musical
-partnership with Belgian saxophonist and researcher Floris Van Der Veken. Floris
-Van Der Veken's embodied performance research interacts with my computer
-instrument design work in our collaborative performances and compositions.
-.sp 0.5
-.PP
-My composition and research work is balanced by my dedication to service locally
-and globally. Alongside the MA degree, I am pursuing an Arts Leadership
-Certificate from the Institute for Music Leadership (IML). Through the IML, I
-hold a development internship with the Hochstein School in Rochester and will
-work at the WXXI Classical radio station in the spring of 2023. In addition,
-with the Eastman Audio Research Studio, I help to program and produce a concert
-series at Eastman. These concerts feature diverse programming and a wide array
-of electroacoustic styles. Before being at Eastman, I held several roles in
-student music organizations, such as Penn State's Living Music and the
-University of South Florida's New Music Consortium. During my time with these
-organizations, I participated in the organization of international
-calls-for-scores and festivals.
-.sp 0.5
-.PP
-The three areas which have guided and helped me construct my career thus far are
-commissions and performances of my original compositions, research, and
-involvement in a new-music community. Over the last three semesters, The Eastman
-School of Music has provided me with a supportive space to grow my compositional
-creativity and career. The dedication to musicianship and rigor delivered by
-both students and faculty at Eastman would continue to provide me with bountiful
-resources to expand my work and grow as a musician and community member. I would
-look forward to spending more time at Eastman, as it has been a spectacular
-place for me.
-
-Sincerely,
-
-Tucker Johnson
