Musician

Joseph Branciforte is a musician, composer, designer, and sound artist whose work explores the intersection of structured systems and emergent phenomena through custom-built technology. He works fluidly across performance, composition, and installation in both acoustic and electronic mediums.

His recorded works include collaborations with vocalist Theo Bleckmann—LP1 (2019) and LP2 (2023)—that The New Yorker praised as "beguiling explorations of voice and machine,” and Sti.ll (2024), his acoustic arrangement of Taylor Deupree's microsound work, which Pitchfork called "a contemporary classical composition of arresting beauty."

In 2019, he founded the Greyfade record label as a platform for artists exploring process-based composition, alternative tuning systems, and digitally mediated forms of improvisation
