Mark McCoin is a sound and interdisciplinary artist, composer, and educator. He received his MFA in film and studio art from the University of Colorado at Boulder, where he also taught audio and interdisciplinary art courses in the Film, Digital Art, and Dance programs. As a musician, he has performed in a host of venues, including Carnegie Hall, Merce Cunningham Studio, the Smithsonian, ruin sites in Peru, and villages in Bali, Indonesia. As a scoring composer, he has written works for dance, theater, film, art installation, radio, and for multiple seasons of episodic television. His creative collaborations include works with Michelle Ellsworth, Mark Amerika, Bruce Odland, Dr. Andrew Weil, Joanne Shenandoah, and Mary Youngblood. His own site-specific multidisciplinary works and collaborations include "Circadia," which was performed in Blake's salvage yard, "Gifts From Unknown Islands," and most recently, "The Feral Piano," which was conceived for and performed at the ATLAS Interdisciplinary Theater in Boulder, CO. Mark is currently serving on the executive board of the Tank Center for the Sonic Arts, is one half of Outlier, the interdisciplinary piano-harp performance duo, and is a professor who runs the New Media Art program at the University of Texas, San Antonio. Whether based in performance or installation, the variety of experience reflected to date in his multi-faceted career continues to prompt his explorations down less familiar avenues in teaching, composition, and in the art of presentation.
