My name is Alexander Porter. I am a composer based in Salt Lake City, Utah, currently working towards a BM in Music Composition at the University of Utah. I have backgrounds in performing both classical music, as well as ambient electronic music. I perform many of my own works, I have also had my music performed by ensembles such as the SPLICE Ensemble and HyperCube. My work both with electronic music and concert music is primarily focused on creating textural music and soundscapes, with a focus on atmosphere and character, rather than traditional motivic development. Central themes explored in my music are themes of introspection, nature and meditation.
