Riles Walsh

I’m a multidisciplinary composer and performer focused on the interplay between live music and pre-recorded sound, presented in trompe-l’œil fashion. I’ve written music for The Duetto Project, EastSide Chamber Players, Shorewood Chamber Singers, The NEW*EARTH Ensemble, Verboot, and other chamber ensembles, and I wrote, recorded, and produced an original score for the short film Cyborg Odyssey.

I’m also active as a conductor, arranger, and educator, collaborating with Present Music, The New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, New Century Chamber Orchestra, Little Opera, DIY Chamber Music, Acacia Theatre Company, Opera Vlaanderen, and Music From Almost Yesterday. My multimedia chamber opera The East Complex premiered in 2023 at the Royal Opera House in Ghent, Belgium.
