About Me

Composer and multi-instrumentalist Aaron Bachelder has composed chamber, choral, orchestral and electronic music, as well as songs in popular genres. In addition to his compositional activities, he is a founding member of the electroacoustic improvisation group the Spool Ensemble, and created the Enrichment Center Percussion Ensemble. Time has also been served in: Choptsicks, Clare Fader and the Vaudevillains, Golden Dawn, Yet and Still, Loop ov Henle, the Superpatriots, and others. Somehow he's managed to play at both Merlefest and the American Festival of Microtonal Music, played in and in front of orchestras, hocked music to television commercials, and spent way too much time in a dimly lit room manipulating sound. He has additionally lent occasional percussive service to: Jeffrey Dean Foster, Martha Bassett, Eugene Chadbourne, Sugarsmack, and Morgan Kraft, among others. Most recently, he has joined the Darnell Woodies.
