    About Jared K.

    5.0
    (2)
    Brief intro: I am a composer, pianist, computer musician, and producer with an omnivorous appetite for music of any style or genre. I am an avid educator, and it is my goal as a teacher to help instill in my students a drive to achieve their highest musical aspirations. A little more info: I am a composer and performer of progressive acoustic and electroacoustic music. My music is characterized by disjunct, interlocking rhythms; extended harmonies and angular melodies; glitch and soundscape textures; and gradual, additive development. I am a vigorous advocate for musical pluralism and draw inspiration from a wide variety of musical influences, including indie and alternative rock, funk, jazz, minimalism and post-minimalism, progressive metal, hip-hop, and EDM. An avid performer of contemporary music, I co-direct, compose for, and play keyboard in the brain-funk band Emergency Stopping Only. I currently pursue dual Master of Music degrees in Composition and Intermedia Music Technology at the University of Oregon School of Music and Dance, where I study with composers David Crumb, Robert Kyr, and Jeffery Stolet.
