Eve Essex is a composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Brooklyn, NY. She performs with woodwinds and voice, accompanied by instrumental ensembles, and by electronic arrangements that use synthesizers, drum machines, live processing, and other sounds.
Her work slides easily from structured electronic pop to open-ended melodic explorations and big-band arrangements. She has scored film soundtracks, written music for installation and performance art, and explored prog, jazz, and electroacoustic ideas with groups including The Fabulous Truth, Das Audit, and a host of other collaborations. Essex’s second solo album, The Fabulous Truth, will be released by Soap Library in June 2024. Her debut solo album, Here Appear, was jointly released by Soap Library (cassette) and Sky Walking (LP) in 2018. She is a Composer In Residence at Crosstown Arts in Memphis, TN, in summer 2024. As a featured instrumentalist, she has contributed to works by The God In Hackney, Peter Gordon & Love of Life Orchestra, James K, Kevin Kenkel, Liturgy, Colin Self, Mike Shiflet, UCC Harlo, and Peter Zummo, among others.
