Jacob David Sudol uses new technologies to create intimate compositions that explore enigmatic phenomena, the inner nature of how we perceive sound, as well as novel connections between Eastern and Western musical cultures. His music has been performed over 200 times by many prestigious ensembles and performers across North America, East and Southeast Asia, and Europe. In addition, a chapter that Dr. Sudol wrote on his music is published in the Oxford University Press Handbook of Spectral Music.
In 2012, he founded a cello/electro-acoustic duo with his colleague the distinguished cellist Jason Calloway and, since 2010 he has been in the Misty Shore Duo, a piano/electro-acoustic duo with his wife Chen-Hui Jen. He has also worked as a recording engineer and producer for albums released on Mode, Albany, Bridge, MSR, Metier, Centaur, and Neuma Records.
