Paul Fraser is a composer, sound designer, multi-instrumentalist and curator based in Los Angeles.
His music has been performed throughout the United States and was recently featured at the Getty Center (LA), the New York City Electroacoustic Festival, REDCAT Winter Studio (LA), Machine Project (LA), the S.E.M. Ensemble Workshop (New York City), The Hammer Museum (UCLA), UC San Diego’s Spring Festival, the Midwest Graduate Music Consortium (Chicago), Nobel Conference (Minnesota) and the St. Magnus Festival (Scotland).
Fraser has written for orchestra, wind orchestra, choir, chamber ensembles, electronic music groups (both pop and experimental), dance, theater and film/animation. His music tends to be heavily influenced by lo-fi electronic sensibilities, the rhythmic complexity of postminimalism and African dance as well as general timbre experimentation.
