Michael Pignato, Professor at the State University of New
York, Oneonta, is a
composer, musician, and music education
scholar.
He leads Bright
Dog Red, an improvising
quintet, that fuses free
improvisation, electronica, jazz, hip hop,
psychedelia, and noise music.
As a composer, Pignato writes for
improvising ensembles. His scores blend
traditional notation and graphic
symbols with the intent of eliciting
idiosyncratic interpretations of his work.
Recent pieces exploit distributed
computing and web-based communications to link
performers working in disparate locations.
Pignato enjoys relationships with
the following instrument makers:
