Dr. Greg Wilder began piano studies at age three and completed his doctorate at Eastman in music composition and piano 26 years later. Between those two milestones, he met George Rochberg, who became an important mentor and friend until his passing in 2005. In 2004 Dr. Wilder left university teaching to start a company devoted to the development of music listening and analysis technologies. That work resulted in lectures, publications, patents and a music analy­sis plat­form, called Clio Music, which has been marketed globally by TiVo since 2012. Today, in a decidedly 21st-century approach to composition, Greg creates A.I. software (called Isomer) that collaborates with him during the composition process. Isomer searches music of the past to discover the hidden musical patterns that satisfy our emotional expectations. From there, Dr. Wilder works with Isomer to compose new music underpinned by those musical structures — the same types of familiar structures that his mentor George Rochberg felt were so essential to the survival of an emotionally engaging musical language.
