Devin Greenwood is an American audio/visual artist and composer of contemporary classical music based in New York City. Inspired by natural wave phenomena such as flocking behaviors and weather patterns, his music centers around a compositional practice he developed with Gideon Crevoshay called antenati—a name which refers to the emergence of spontaneous musical structures from a canon of tension-resolution patterns performed by the composer con gli antenati—or ‘with the ancestors’. In his forthcoming theoretical work, A New Phenomenology of Meaning in Music, Greenwood highlights the oscillatory nature of thought and subjective experience, explaining how these musical structures emerge by exploring the nature of the underlying wave patterns generated by the practice.
His visual work also revolves around the expression of wave phenomena and is focused on obsolete tech such as oscilloscopes, video synthesizers and 1980s game consoles. He is the co-founder/owner of the Brooklyn recording studio The Honey Jar and in 2024 was awarded a doctoral fellowship at Princeton University, where he is pursuing a Ph.D. in music composition.
