   About Joseph Di Ponio
Joseph Di Ponio has composed music for concert performance, theater, art installations, and silent films. His concert music can be heard on solo and chamber music recitals throughout the U.S. and Canada, and is often inspired by the visual arts, especially the paintings of Barnett Newman, the video installations of Gary Hill, and the sculptures of Richard Serra. In general, his work is concerned with issues of aural history and temporality and has been influenced by the thought of Heidegger, Lyotard, Deleuze and Guattari. His recent projects include compositions for the Timetable percussion trio, Yarn/Wire, the 2009 Armory show a collaborative video installation with the artist Lawrence Mesich as well as ongoing experiments with sound resulting from melting ice. Joseph recently completed his PhD in music composition at SUNY Stony Brook where he studied with Dan Weymouth, Daria Semegen and Sheila Silver. While at Stony Brook, he studied philosophy and aesthetics with Hugh Silverman and Donald Kuspit earning an Advanced Graduate Certificate in Philosophy and the Arts. Active as an art theorist, he has written and presented papers on the aesthetic relationship between music and the other arts.

Joe,
Thought you might find this link amusing at the very least and interesting at best:

It seems related to the book I recommended on Sacred numbers & harmonics...
Hope you had a great summer!
