Telo Hoy is a composer and percussionist hailing from New Mexico and based in New York. Working primarily with vibraphone and electronics, his music seeks to explore technique, timbre, and acoustics, through observations of light, environments, and material elements.
“Intimate and wistful, like hazy memories of an old friend playing on loop in the mind’s eye,” is how Bandcamp described his debut solo album “Rubber Wing,” which named it one of the Best Ambient Albums of February 2024. The album was also selected as a staff pick on Nina Protocol and was described by The Quietus as “quiet and contained, focused on the tiny manipulations of each ring of the vibraphone.”
Recent performances include concerts at Washington Baths (Portland, ME), Pilot Light (Knoxville, TN), Sundown (Queens, NY), Lunch Nightly (Kingston, NY), Rhizome (Washington D.C.), and The Living Gallery (Brooklyn, NY). Hoy’s film scores have shown at festivals in Italy, Boston, London, and Rio de Janeiro. His site-specific compositions have been exhibited at Meow Wolf (Santa Fe, NM), Beckoning Path (Armonk, NY) and the Bradbury Science Museum (Los Alamos, NM).
