about
Paul Rucker is an interdisciplinary artist (cellist-bassist-composer-visual artist-creator of interactive sound/video installations). Rucker has released two critically acclaimed CDs of his compositions, and he composes new music presented in a way that allows the viewer-listener the opportunity to interact with the work (participants can trigger sounds with the wave of a hand, touch of a finger, or press of a button). His pieces have been on display at Consolidated Works, Motel Motel Motel, Jack Straw New Media Gallery, the Washington State Convention and Trade Center, and On the Boards. Wall of Pieces was featured in the regional publication, Visual Codec, in 2007. Other recent works—Eleven Conversations and Happy Ending Machine—were showcased at McLeod Residence in Seattle. Rucker has received numerous grants for the creation of visual art and music from 4Culture, Seattle Mayor’s Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs, South Carolina Arts Commission, Washington State Arts Commission, King County Site Specific, Photo Center NW, and Artist Trust. He has also been awarded residencies to Blue Mountain Center, Ucross Foundation, Art OMI, Banff Centre, and the Rockefeller Foundation study center in Bellagio, Italy. As a musician and director Rucker plays in various situations from solo cellist to leading his LARGE ENSEMBLE of twenty-two musicians. Rucker won Best Emerging Artist of 2004 from Earshot, and Jazz Artist of the Year 2005 from the Seattle Music Awards and Outside Jazz
