Tyler Neidermayer is an electro-acoustic performer, composer and audio engineer based in New York City, whose work utilizes amplification and live signal processing to elevate acoustic instruments to new heights. His music incorporates modular synthesizers, pedals and software controllers to form his clarinets into morphing clouds of sound, brutally driven textures, and entirely new hybrid instruments.
Tyler is the clarinetist and technical director for the BlackBox Ensemble, a contemporary chamber collective with recent performances at the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art, the Southern Exposure New Music Series, the Whitney Museum, and Bang on a Can’s LongPlay Festival in New York City. He also performs regularly at Little Island’s Summer Season, having played multiple reeds and electric guitar for 2024’s critically acclaimed production of Le Nozze di Figaro starring Anthony Roth Costanzo and 2025's production of Weil/Schlosberg's The Counterfeit Opera.
In his day to day life, Tyler works as a recording and live sound engineer with the Orto Center for Distance Learning & Recording Arts at Manhattan School of Music, providing livestream mixes and front of house sound for many of the school’s mainstage musical theatre and opera productions as well as live sound support for the jazz combos, big bands, and MSM’s premiere contemporary music ensemble, Tactus.
