Lou Bunk is a composer and improviser of minimal yet intricate music that investigates sound and silence through extended instrumental techniques, microtones and custom-made electronic and acoustic instruments. He is influenced by the classic American and European avant-garde such as Feldman, Cage, Scelsi and Lachenmann, as well as the vibrant electro-acoustic improv scene in and around Boston and New York. In his home town Somerville Massachusetts, Lou co-produces the concert series Opensound, and has chaired the Somerville Arts Council.

Lou received his PhD in Music Composition and Theory from Brandeis University and is Assistant Professor of Music at Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire where he teaches electronic music and composition.
