South African-born American composer Emlyn Ellis Addison centers his neo-retro Electronica on unconventional instrumentation, complex rhythmic structures, and unusual meters. His beautiful, craning melodic forms and lavish rhythmic outlays are suspended over expansive open-chord harmonic foundations; organic, driving, and seductive. His orchestral works seek to recapture the spirit of courage and entrepreneurship of the American West. Emlyn studied composition at Arizona State University, and earned a Master of Composition for New Media at the California Institute of The Arts.
New sounds made old, old sounds made new, Emlyn Ellis Addison's Electronic compositions explore "homogenous sound" principles that use unpolished, "distressed" sound as a textural device. This technique of tactile sound-making includes damaged, krunky tape recordings, destabilized pitch, stereo imaging, granular synthesis techniques, and "accumulated" digital errors. Emlyn regularly employs symmetrical and inverted musical forms in his work.
