Brandon Becker

Brandon died February 21, 2024, nearly 3 years after this interview. He was a composer of experimental music, and a very good friend of mine.
This interview touches on topics like: attention (inside & outside of concert settings), processing trauma through music, mental illness, drug usage, the psychology of repetition, the harmonic properties of multiphonics, spectralism, whole number ratios, being in the same room (both acoustically and socially), zoom meetings, music being the artwork of present moments, and many other things.
Pieces, in order heard:
the awakened, lips parted, the hope, the new ships (for six bowed music stands)
Repetition Study II (Music as a Means of Processing Trauma)
the awakened, lips parted.... (reprise)
Proportions/Frame (Brandon's final published recording)
