Cool composer alert!
I’d like to let you all know about the contemporary composer:
Ethan T. Parcell
He’s a super cool guy and I’ve had the pleasure to work under his direction and with some of his music recently. I’m not going to try to define what his music IS because
A.) it’s impossible
B.) it might take away from the music itself
What I can say is that it makes you FEEL a lot of things, kinda like slam poetry but with way more kick.
He and Focus Group LLC are based in Chicago and have released tons of beautiful music you can hear online. I’m gonna link his band camp below (he also has a Spotify).
I think it’s hugely important to promote contemporary composers, particularly younger ones, because they’re our incredibly innovative future. People always dismiss new styles of music as “too radical” and “abstract”, but that’s been happening since forever. If you only listen to non-contemporary stuff, I implore you to give Ethan Parcell’s music a listen.
I know I’m just a music meme blog, but I want his music to reach as many ears as possible. You could say I’m a big fan!!
A recommendation: sit down and give some time to listen to this music. Headphones work super well and I prefer a dark room. Here you go!

(Also, even if it doesn’t match your theme much, it’d be great to spread this info and music via reblogs. I’m not gonna guilt trip you into it, just asking :D)
