Michael William Gilbert
Born:
Michael William Gilbert's musical journey has transcended boundaries from an early age. Growing up between Connecticut and Brussels, his ears were opened to the avant-garde experimentalism of Varese, Stockhausen, and Pierre Henry, as well as the rich tapestries of Indian, African, and Japanese traditions. But it was his immersion in Miles Davis' pioneering electric period that truly sparked his passion for melding jazz and electronic frontiers.
After studying electrical engineering at MIT and electronic music at the Boston School of Electronic Music, Gilbert's talents as a synthesizer composer, designer, and teacher took root. He served as technical director of electronic music studios at Amherst College, Smith College, Hampshire College, and UMass/Amherst. Over his career he has experience teaching electronic music at UMass Amherst, Holyoke Community College, and Hampshire College. In parallel, he had a nearly 30-year career as the Adviser for Technology Initiatives and Services at UMass Amherst before retiring to focus full-time on music.
