I started as an electronic artist. I started learning how to use FL Studio because one of my friends was using it and wanted to work on projects with me. I worked on improving my sound design and learned how to craft a melody. I always loved making electronic music and the sound design was my favorite part of the process. During my time at Southern Utah University, I took a class where we performed Avant Garde styles of music, including some of the works of John Cage, Mark Applebaum, and my personal favorite, Steve Reich. There I learned to love the minimalist style of music, which I started applying to my electronic music.

Knowing that not everyone loves that style of music, I started devoting time and energy into learning more complex music theory and compositional styles to create music that anyone could enjoy. I took private lessons from the professors at Southern Utah University to learn how to craft more intricate countermelodies and more complete harmonies to captivate and capture an audience's attention. There I improved my ability to add variation to my music, so that I could create any type of music that someone would like to listen to. I improved my orchestration abilities and decided to devote myself to instrumental composition.

Eventually I recognized that the two worlds I had composed in and learned so much from didn't have to be separate. I could implement interesting sound design and minimalistic techniques into my instrumental compositions, which was a world that I feel has been hitherto unexplored by the majority of people. I decided to work on implementing synthesized sound and repetition into my works of meaningful melodies and deep harmonies, working to become a pioneer of the genre.

I focus my energy on writing for Wind Symphony, but have composed for many different ensembles, ranging from classical horn solos to quartets for trumpet, clarinet, saxophone, and piano. Whatever you're looking for in a composition, I can do it for you.

A taste of my music:

Limit

The title track of my 2024 album, featuring polyrhythm as a major part of the track, and sound design made to feature a soundtrack style in an electronic piece.

My Percussion Ensemble arrangement is coming soon!

Solo

My first ever release, with a driving bass rhythm that continues through the whole track

Whole

From "Limit" and my personal favorite track, featuring a repeating melody that shifts in and out of time signature

My classical compositions are not available for streaming yet, but are available to perform. For more details, email me at ZachAllred@ZachAllredMusic.com
