Eli Philip Hocking (b. 2005) is a composer, linguist-writer, and multi-instrumentalist currently based in Bloomington, Indiana. Eli approaches art as both artifact and biofact, and his creations reflect a deep curiosity about the condition of life—an attempt to understand, document, & give shape to the diverse experiences of living organisms.
Eli has had premieres by violist Addison Hightower, gayageum player Lee Yurim 이유림, & pianist Ding Zhou. He is currently pursuing a BM in Composition from the IU Jacobs School of Music with minors in French and Linguistics. He has studied composition with Don Freund and PQ Phan, and is currently studying with Gabriel Jenks.
