Eric Frye is an American composer and artist. He is known for his solo performance and installation work – an exploration of the dissociative and psychoactive functions of sound and image. Frye’s music dances and drips around the inside of your skull, a folding transmutation of paranoiac pastiche and entropic jamais vu. Over the past decade Frye has toured extensively in the US, UK, Europe, and Asia. He has presented lectures at The Institute of Sonology Den Haag, held residencies at EMS Elektronmusikstudion Stockholm, and been featured in The Wire Magazine and Neural Magazine. Frye is a recipient of the Jerome Hill Artist Fellowship and the Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emerging Composers Grant.

His work has been presented in partnership with School of Design Nanjing University of Arts (China), Shanxi University School of Fine Arts (China), Stanford Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), UC Berkeley Center for New Music and Audio Technologies, The Lab (San Francisco), lobe (Vancouver), Quiet City (Vancouver), UC Santa Cruz Digital Arts Research Center(CA), Woodstockhausen: Festival of Experimental Music, Pageant Soloveev (PA), The Soap Factory (MN), Indexical (CA), RhizomeDC (DC), Cedar Cultural Center (MN), The Fuse Factory (OH), Luggage Store Gallery (San Francisco), Orange County Center for Contemporary Art (CA), St Cloud State University (MN), Alfred University (NY) as well as clubs, galleries, theaters, and many DIY spaces.
