Biography

Sample Works

Composer Jennifer Butler grew up in Victoria, BC. Her music has been performed by many Canadian ensembles such as: Arraymusic, Four Gallon Drum, Standing Wave, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, the Vertical Orchestra, and the Ad Mare Wind Quintet.

As both a composer and a performer, Jennifer often collaborates with other artists on multi-disciplinary projects. Her most sustained collaboration is through CURV, an experimental ensemble with composer-performers Kristy Farkas and Marci Rabe. CURV is currently preparing a large collaborative work with Continuum Contemporary Music in Toronto for this April.

In September 2004, Jennifer returned to UBC in pursuit of a DMA and is currently planning a thesis project that explores the history of women as creative artists. Her other current project is creating a series of etudes adaptable to various interactive electronic instruments using MAX/MSP.

One of Jennifer’s major artistic influences over the past eight years has been her involvement in R. Murray Schafer’s annual theatrical project And Wolf Shall Inherit the Moon. She also sits on the boards of Vancouver's Standing Wave, Redshift, and Pro Musica.
