Elainie Lillios

Acclaimed as one of the “contemporary masters of the medium” by MIT Press’s Computer Music Journal, electroacoustic composer Elainie Lillios creates works that reflect her fascination with listening, sound, space, time, immersion and anecdote. Her compositions include stereo, multi channel, and Ambisonic fixed media works, instrument(s) with live interactive electronics, collaborative experimental audio/visual animations, and installations.

Forward Motion

With a seven-year history in Indianapolis, Forward Motion advocates for the creation of new works by bringing innovative performances to audiences old and new. Equally at home in both formal and informal environments, Forward Motion focuses on performing works by living composers.
