Chris Aron Nelson

I am a Seattle and Colorado based composer, artist, calligrapher and poet. My music is made up of sounds that are few, simple, quiet and beautiful, repeated many times over and surrounded by one or many drones. Through repetition, the beauty of sound is thrown into stark relief; slight differences in accent, timbre and dynamics become highly accentuated. In addition, I often incorporate ‘found sounds’ and field recordings into my pieces. I almost always capture the real time ambient sounds that are occurring outside my studio as I record. This provides ‘beautiful accidents’ as automobile drones, birdcalls and snippets of conversation from neighbors interact with the sounds that I am creating in the studio. I rarely use structures or forms in my music; I approach music making as I approach hiking and sitting meditation – I set out and am open to what I will find. The spirit is one of letting go and acceptance.Please visit INKSOUND.COM for more music downloads and images of my art.
