Background

Casey O’Neal is the Technical Manager in the William & Mary Music Department. He holds a B.A. in Music from Georgia College and State University and an M.M. from The University of Georgia in Music Composition. Prior to his work at William & Mary, Mr. O’Neal worked as an audio engineer doing shows all over the Southeast United States and as the Assistant Director for the Dancz Center for New Music at The University of Georgia.

Mr. O’Neal’s compositions stretch across many platforms. His chamber and solo works, both acoustic and electronic, have been heard around the world and are characterized as “stunning” and “inspiring.” He has collaborated with Dr. Rachel Frederiksen at the University of Arkansas having a world premiere with his piece From Ashes to Ascension. He was also commissioned by Dr. Nathaniel Gworek to compose the solo snare and fixed media piece, Night Time Forest.

“As a composer and performer, I wanted to understand how to record and produce my own music. This led to my career in the production industry as an audio engineer. Every performance and collaboration are approached with the engineer and composer perspective simultaneously, which leads to a higher quality result.” – Casey O’Neal
