BIO:
Steve Flato is a composer, microtonal guitarist, and modular synthesist based in Buffalo, NY. His work spans electroacoustic improvisation, just intonation, and experimental electronic music. Active since the early 2000s, he has developed a unique approach to live performance using custom-tuned instruments, including a 17-tone just intonation electric guitar. Since 2020, he has focused on modular synthesis, resulting in Degenerate, a generative album exploring algorithmic control, feedback, and non-linear forms. His recordings appear on labels such as Marginal Frequency, Full Spectrum, and Astral Spirits, reflecting a deep commitment to tuning theory, system-based composition, and the materiality of sound.
