Timothy Roy

Timothy Roy composes music steeped in imagery and allusion, which often seeks to elicit a sense of time, place, and feeling. His music has been presented at such venues and events as the National Theater of Taipei, Music Biennale Zagreb, BEAST, Bowling Green New Music Festival, Toronto Electroacoustic Symposium, ICMC, and the International Electroacoustic Music Festival of Chile »Ai-maako«. He has received honors from the Salvatore Martirano Memorial Composition Award (1st Prize), Prix Destellos (1st Prize), Città di Udine (Finalist), Franz Liszt Stipendium – Weimar (Finalist) and ASCAP/SEAMUS Student Commission Award (Finalist), among others.

Upcoming projects include a new chamber work for Earplay New Music Ensemble in San Francisco and an extended multimedia monodrama for harp, immersive audio, and video. Roy has taught composition, theory, and electroacoustic music at Western Michigan University and Rice University. Roy is currently completing a Doctor of Musical Arts degree at Rice University.
