John Supko is an Associate Professor of Music and Theater Studies at Duke University's Trinity College of Arts & Sciences. He also serves as Core Faculty in Innovation & Entrepreneurship and previously held roles like Interim Director of the PhD Program in Computational Media, Arts & Culture. Educated at Indiana University (B.Mus., 2002), Princeton University (M.F.A., 2005; Ph.D., 2009), he specializes in generative music that blends human creativity with algorithmic processes. His research explores intersections of chance, traditional notation, and real-time score generation. Notable projects include s_traits (a generative environment based on Bill Seaman’s text) and USINE (a 24-hour work combining ensemble and algorithmic electronics). His work has been hailed as 'spellbindingly beautiful' and 'hypnotic' for its fusion of sound, text, and technology. Recent artistic works include Time Becomes Again (2024) and Crossed Shadows (2024), emphasizing algorithmic innovation. Awards include the Hunt Family Publication Award (2013) and the Leo Kaplan Award (2008). Teaching spans composition, generative media, and arts entrepreneurship, reflecting his commitment to interdisciplinary creativity. Supko’s collaborations extend to computational media and experimental performance, with works exhibited globally. His lab focuses on using technology to disrupt conventional musical frameworks, advocating for 'exuberant rule-breaking' in artistic exploration.
