Jeffrey Lependorf creates operas, chamber music and sound installations.
A recording of his “Night Pond” was launched into space in 1997 with the shuttle Atlantis and remained for a year aboard the Russian space station Mir.
Most recently, his composition concentrates on opera projects that utilize transcriptions of real speech combined with appropriated musical materials to explore layerings of opera, language and history.
He also serves as executive director of the Council of Literary Magazines and Presses.
