Noah Keesecker is a composer and multimedia artist who creates works that are equally at home in the concert hall as they are in the dance club. He is made of video, installations, literature, science, interactive performance art, animation, ping pong, sawdust, synthesizers, and bicycle grease. He is driven by an insatiable curiosity, a mercurial imagination, and an enterprising spirit, all aimed at the goal of forging sound and sight with physical, tactile, interactive and object-oriented approaches to music. Among his grants and awards are a 2008 McKnight Composer Fellowship, Jerome Composer Commissioning Grant and a Jerome Club 416 commission from the Cedar Cultural Center.

Outside of the studio, Noah puts art in airports in his role at Arts@MSP at the Airport Foundation MSP, has been a Director of Artist Development at Springboard for the Arts, where he lead strategic, energetic, and artist-centric approaches to building professional practices curriculum for creatives of all stripes. He’s served on the board of directors for Minnesota Citizens for the Arts, one of the premier arts advocacy organizations in the country, and on the advisory committee for Slam Academy, a digital arts music lab in downtown Minneapolis.

Noah lives in Minneapolis with his two magical children, an art librarian, a zesty dog and an immortal cat, and is still trying to build his first boat, albeit a small one.
