Andrew May writes innovative and subtle concert music, some of which involves computer-based agents interacting with human performers (for which he also writes some unusual code). May frequently performs as a violinist in avant-garde music and improvisation; in addition to concert music performances, since 2018 he has also played in clubs and bars with Trio du Sang. He teaches composition at the University of North Texas, where he directed the Center for Experimental Music and Intermedia from 2005-2016 and 2019-20. He is assistant director of the Sounds Modern performance series, which connects modern art audiences with contemporary music, primarily at the Fort Worth Museum of Modern Art. His music can be heard on CDCM, SEAMUS, EMF Media, and Ravello Records, including a CD of his works for instruments and electronics, Imaginary Friends.
