Alexander Wu is a composer, pianist, electronic producer, improviser, and programmer based in Baltimore, MD. His music is a constant negotiation between what is possible or present and what is not. In physical, logical, and perceptual extremities, he reconstructs memories, and with these sonic alterations, he captures emotional subtleties that are difficult to access otherwise. After graduating summa cum laude from Berklee College of Music with a bachelor’s degree in Composition and Electronic Production and Design in 2023, Alexander is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Composition at the Peabody Institute, studying with Dr. Sky Macklay.
