Scott Wollschleger

American composer Scott Wollschleger has described his music as "following lightly in the footsteps of the New York School," the experimentally minded set of composers inspired by John Cage. Wollschleger has combined experiments of his own with a background of contemporary philosophy, producing accessible works that swim in new intellectual currents. Wollschleger's work has been informed by the writings of philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Friedrich Nietzsche, and the poet and playwright Bertolt Brecht. In his own words, his music explores themes of art in dystopia, the conceptualization of silence, synesthesia, and creative repetition in form. In 2017 Wollschleger released his debut album, Soft Aberration. ~ James Manheim
