Eliot Krimsky is a composer and songwriter, co-founder and lead singer of the band Glass Ghost, keyboardist, and media artist. Glass Ghost has been called “delicately brave” by Andy McCluskey of OMD, and “weird and mournful yet highly rhythmic” by Time Out New York. The band has been featured on NPR, HBO and has played shows with the likes of Deerhoof, Dirty Projectors and Sharon Van Etten. In 2015, Glass Ghost did an interactive new-media performance at Lincoln Center presented by Performance Space 122. Krimsky also works regularly with Open House — a band/performance collaboration with Steven Reker, Ryan Seaton and Matt Evans. Their piece “Rememberer” will have its Washington D.C. premier at ADI and its N.Y. premier at BAM for the Next Wave festival. Mr. Krimsky has played with Meshell Ndegeocello as well as the band Here We Go Magic — with whom he’s played numerous shows — including at the 02 Arena London and at the Montreal Jazz festival. Krimsky’s music has been featured for film and television on HBO and at the Sundance Film Festival. He recently composed the original piano and string score for the feature film Supergirl. His music has also been featured for dance for choreographer Beth Gill’s “Portrait Study” – which opened for Laurie Anderson in her own Live Ideas festival. Krimsky is currently working on a solo album as well as a new Glass Ghost album.
