John Aylward is a composer whose works explore the intersections of time, memory, and myth. Raised in the Sonoran Desert, he carries with him a deep appreciation for its intersecting cultures and otherwordly landscapes. His works cross genre and aesthetic, and integrate a love of the history of science, philosophy and contemporary literature, all in the service of illuminating an exploration of the human experience.
“Music has the potential to transport us away from our sense of our physical corporeal selves, loosening our masks, and, ultimately, our sense of otherness. There is a mysterious link to this loosening of ourselves and the suspension of what we think of as time.”
