Professor\r\nBruce Arnold is a guitarist, composer, educator, and author. As a\r\nmusician, he has achieved a strikingly original sound by applying jazz\r\nimprovisational techniques to 20th century-12-tone compositional\r\nmethods. He has recorded three critically acclaimed CDs that document\r\nhis unique approach to composition and improvisation, and he has also\r\npioneered the use of the guitar as a controller via the computer\r\nprogram SuperCollider. Professor Arnold also co-leads the group Spooky\r\nActions which takes music from sources as far afield as Native American\r\nsongs to classics by composers such as Webern and Messiaen as vehicles\r\nfor improvisation. Professor Arnold has a distinguished and\r\nversatile performance history, having performed with the Absolute\r\nEnsemble under the baton of Kristjan Järvi, Gary Burton, Joe Pass, Joe\r\nLovano, Randy Brecker, Peter Erskine, Stuart Hamm, and the Boston\r\nSymphony Orchestra. He is the author of over 50 books on music\r\neducation and directs the groundbreaking NYU Summer Guitar Intensive,\r\nwhich annually brings together the best guitarists in the world to\r\ncreate an inspiring educational environment for the serious guitarist.
