Tyondai Braxton
Tyondai Braxton is an American composer and producer of electronic and acoustic music, ranging from large-scale multimedia works, solo electronic pieces, compositions notated for small ensembles, to music for large orchestra, choir and electronics. With a life-long fascination for sound design and synthesis, his work is centred in the creation of vibrant multidimensional sound worlds imbued with a sense of story.
With today’s announcement, we’re introducing new single ‘Piiano’ - a shimmering new dispatch from the desk of Braxton, which brings the listener into the eerie unknown. A processed piano takes centre stage but is flanked by fizzing, bubbling electronics, swirling around the stage, hidden details emerging upon repeat listens.
Braxton was a founding member of NYC-founded math rock outfit Battles, and has since collaborated with Philip Glass, Bang on a Can All-Stars, Kronos Quartet to name a few.
His recorded solo albums Central Market and HIVE1 have been released by Warp and Nonesuch Records respectively. He has toured extensively throughout the world, and has performed with Four Tet, Tim Hecker and Steven O’Malley.
