About
A three-time Emmy-nominated composer, songwriter, and pianist

Working across a broad creative range
For over a decade he's also created large-scale interactive scores for Google, including Google Earth VR and Google Maps XR. His debut album as a solo artist, Semipermanence, was named a best new album by NPR Music.
Born in Baton Rouge and raised in the midwest, Joshua studied music at Northwestern University, where he began collaborating with student filmmakers and within the lively improvisation scene of Chicago.
Collaboration isn't a step in the process. It is the process.
Joshua Moshier's process starts with connection — real conversations, shared ideas, the spark of finding what collaboration can bring to life. From there, work develops at the piano, with live and electronic elements integrated from the outset. Performers are welcomed early so the work reflects its full potential from the first listen, and the energy in the room becomes part of the sound.
Every project builds on the last, and every collaboration adds a new layer to what's possible.
