Dr. Jeffrey Lependorf is a composer, musician, and visual artist, as well as a certified master of the shakuhachi, a traditional Japanese bamboo flute. His music has been performed around the globe—literally, in fact: a recording of his Night Pond for solo shakuhachi was launched into space when the shuttle Atlantis took off on May 15, 1997 and remained for a year aboard the Russian space station Mir. His “Masterpieces of Western Music” audio-course is available through Barnes & Noble’s “Portable Professor” series, as well as for download through audible.com. Music recordings can be found on Ayler, Albany, Sachimay, and other labels. A nationally recognized arts leader, he currently serves as the Executive Director of the John Cage Trust, and also directs the Art Omi: Music international musicians residency program, a collaborative music-making residency he created.
As a teenager Scott Fields played guitar, sang, and wrote songs for rock and blues bands. Soon he became interested in New Music and avant-garde jazz. His Chicago neighborhood was home to the AACM, which incorporated Asian classical music, African tribal music, jazz, and European classical traditions. Hearing this music changed Fields’ creative direction. At 17 he formed the loudest avant-jazz trio in Chicago, for which he played guitar, tenor and soprano saxophone, flute, clarinet, and percussion. The group appeared at rock venues and festivals.

Now decades later, as a guitarist and composer, Fields is best known for his modular works and for using text, such as Charles Bukowski poems and David Mamet or Samuel Beckett plays, as musical structures.
