Dominic Mekky is an American composer, arranger, and pianist based in Brooklyn, NY.

Born in York, PA, he attended The New School in New York, graduating in 2013. He writes concert works, theater pieces, arrangements for other artists, and he regularly plays piano and keyboards in a number of eclectic groups.

He is a founder of the theatrical production house “Sounds & Voices," alongside frequent collaborator Franky Rousseau, with whom he wrote April, a multimedia music drama that tells the story of a singer in her early thirties who is irreparably losing her hearing, and the ensuing toll this takes on her two close, but unhealthy, relationships.

He has collaborated with Caroline Shaw, Rob Moose, Gabriel Kahane, Gabriel Cabezas, and worked in varying capacities for Philip Glass, Nico Muhly, Chris Thile, Roomful Of Teeth, Bryce Dessner, Marcos Balter, Claire Chase, Kelsey Lu, William Brittelle, Colin Jacobsen, Jeremy Denk, and Gabriel Witcher. For its final two seasons, he handled charts and arrangements for American Public Media's Live From Here with Chris Thile.

His recent arranging work includes: vocals for a recording by Renée Fleming, Alison Krauss, Rhiannon Giddens, and Yannick Nézet-Séguin; four orchestral arrangements for Nas, Teyana Taylor, and others as a part of GOOD Music’s 2019 Vienna Recording Project; and, in collaboration with Caroline Shaw, an arrangement of Sara Bareilles’s “Love Song,” which was performed in 2018 by Sara and the National Symphony Orchestra as part of Ben Folds’s ongoing “Declassified” concert series.

He has done creative sound design for installations and live sets of music. In 2011, he curated and designed the sound for Chaos Manor, a large-scale multimedia installation by Sam Stephenson and Chris McElroen (shown at The Invisible Dog in Brooklyn); he made a related sound collage for Gene Smith’s Sink, a multimedia event by author Sam Stephenson, for the 2018 Big Ears Festival.

He has scored a variety of features and shorts (including This Time Tomorrow by director Shane Bissett, and Up The River by Ben Greenblatt), which were shown at the Milan, Philadelphia, Sun Valley, and Toronto Indie film festivals. His music has appeared in an assortment of documentaries, short films, TV shows, and New Yorker web shorts.

He is currently working on a second music drama.
