Jon Forshee concerns his time with the creation of original musical experiences in all media. Forshee's many diverse compositions reflect the broad spectrum of his aesthetic concerns: the acculturation of tuning, timbre, and music from Eastern cultures; increased understanding of ancient Western musics; and inquiries into musical perception and cognition through new technology.
Forshee's output is comprehensive: he writes for small and large ensembles, computer, computer with live performers and ensembles, dance, and video. Most recently Forshee's writings on music have appeared in The Computer Music Journal, The Open Space Magazine, and Perspectives of New Music.
Forshee is a co-founder and artistic director of The Liquid Music Group, a rotating ensemble dedicated to performing music requiring unconventional performance spaces.
Jon Forshee's formal education in music took place at the Interlochen Arts Academy, Bowling Green State University, the Xi'an Conservatory of Music, PR China, and the Eastman School of Music, in Rochester, New York.
Jon lives in Paris, France.
