Mirage

With daniel Wohl in 2025/26

ABOUT

Daniel Wohl, a composer with “a knack for creating electroacoustic pieces that blur the line between electronic and acoustic instrumentation” (WNYC) is writing a new 20- minute electroacoustic work inspired by UFOs, and the cultural phenomena they create.

From the composer Mirage is a work in progress for Hub New Music, an ensemble based in Detroit. When Hub and I first started talking about creating a new piece, we discovered a mutual fascination with UFOs—mixing real curiosity with a bit of sci-fi fun. Are UFOs just products of our imagination, projections of our hopes, or something truly alien? Mirage explores these questions through sound, blending electronics, radio signals, white noise, and processed acoustic instruments.
