New Tools, Ancient Craft - An interview with composer Hamish Ander

On this episode, I speak with a young composer of new orchestral music, Hamish Ander.  Hamish joined me from Melbourne, Australia where he uses modern music technologies to bring new orchestral music to life.  He and I met through a mutual friend, and I was immediately impressed by his ability to create convincing simulacra of orchestral performances.  He uses a keen, classically-trained ear to navigate complex modern music technologies.  In addition to creating his own new musical works, he helps other composers get a realistic snapshot of orchestral music without the massive investment of hiring a live ensemble. His is a refreshing and genuine emerging musical voice and I know you will enjoying hearing him share about his journey into classical music on this episode.  For my composer friends, if you'd like to connect directly with Hamish to help with your work, please send me an email at salutations@gustavhoyer.com and I can connect you directly.
