GIDEON BROSHY
Gideon Broshy is a composer, producer, and pianist from New York City. He builds clouds and swarms from sharp figures, using improvisation, synthesis, and MIDI. His music attends to the strange and prolific seam between self and world — where people meet the social in a tangle of connections.
His debut album, Nest (New Amsterdam Records, 2025), has been recognized by NPR's All Songs Considered, Stereogum, A Closer Listen, The Big Takeover, Digital in Berlin, and Night after Night's Steve Smith, presented on BBC Radio 3, NTS Radio, and the Lot Radio, and sampled by Son Lux on "Endlessly," the lead single from their forthcoming album Out Into (City Slang, 2026). Nest gathers harpsichords, synthesizers, celestas, dulcimers, pianos, and software instruments into bright, angular assemblages and dense swarms.
As a composer and producer, he’s worked with artists like Sō Percussion, Roomful of Teeth, William Brittelle, Matt Evans, and Wendy Eisenberg. As a pianist, he’s performed on NPR and at Carnegie Hall. His interdisciplinary work includes projects for dance, theater, film, and installation, presented by the Joffrey Ballet; the Brick Theater; the Greenwich Village, Science New Wave, and East London LGBTQ+ Film Festivals; and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Yale University Art Gallery, and MASS MoCA. His writing has been published by Which Sinfonia, the New Journal, and These Fifty States.
