Huck Hodge
Huck Hodge (* 1977 in Gainesville , Florida , USA ) is an American composer of new music .
Style features
Essential suggestions for Hodges music are "the most recent research in the fields of psychoacoustics and cognition , problems of Eastern and Western philosophy and the music of the earlier Renaissance". Aesthetically, his work is shaped by the techniques of French spectralism, although the tendency towards rhythmic and textural complexity, reminiscent of the German avant-garde of the post-war period, remains.

Hodge received his earliest musical training in the state of Oregon on the American west coast. From 1999 to 2002 he studied music theory and new media at the Stuttgart University of Music with the support of the DAAD . From 2002 to 2008 he was an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Fellow at Columbia University in New York City . There he studied composition with Tristan Murail .
Hodge has won several prestigious international awards, including a. the Rome Prize Luciano Berio , the Gaudeamus International Composition Prize and the Aaron Copland Composition Prize from the Bogliasco Foundation.
