Composer, researcher, and performer DJ Malinowski has written acoustic and electroacoustic music with instrumentation ranging from large ensemble to solo instrument, as well as multimedia pieces. He studied music composition and technology with Eric Lyon, Charles Nichols, and Ico Bukvic, at Virginia Tech. His works incorporate elements of theatre, psychology, and philosophy, and explore spatial music, the aesthetic of failure, the intersection between performance art, music, and conceptual art, sadism towards the performer and audience, and different possible relationships between composer, performer, and audience. They have been performed at the Cube, Grand Lobby, Perform Studio, and Anne and Ellen Fife Theatre, in the Moss Arts Center in Blacksburg, VA; the Recital Salon and Old Dominion Ballroom, in Squires Student Center at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA; the Merril Ellis Intermedia Theatre at the University of North Texas; Tate Hall at Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, NC; and the National Presbyterian Church in the District of Columbia. DJ has presented creative scholarship at the Virginia Tech Undergraduate Research & Creative Scholarship Conference and the Dennis Dean Undergraduate Research & Creative Scholarship Conference. He has given a guest lecture on creative spatialization using Max/MSP for an undergraduate course, and has presented and demonstrated the NanoKONTROL2 spatialization system that he made for Maria Chavez at Cube Fest 2017, at the 2018 Spatial Music Workshop. DJ has performed experimental music using laptop/controllers, method acting, body percussion, piano, and trumpet. Recent compositions include “Invincible” for vocalizing alto saxophonist + 24 sound channels (written for Jeffery Kyle Hutchins), and “Outsides” for pianist + four method actresses/actors + 24 sound channels (written for Joseph Hart).
