On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by Austin Hammonds.
With a seamless fusion of neo-classical orchestral mastery and contemporary production flair, composer Austin Hammonds delivers a contemporary twist on a timeless sound. Drawing from a deep well of musical influences spanning centuries, Hammonds intricately bridges colors and textures the past and the present, offering stories a fresh perspective on the enduring beauty of orchestral music.
Hammonds remains steadfast in his dedication to projects that allow him to explore the full spectrum of orchestral expression. Whether crafting traditional orchestral landscapes or pushing the boundaries with innovative and less-traditional scores, he is driven by a profound belief in the power of collaboration.
This episode is the podcast's very first two-parter, and it is a deep dive into the world of film scoring. In this conversation, Austin and Tyler discuss their similar backgrounds–and how that starting point led them toward different paths entirely–plus, Austin shares thoughts on the importance of his composition mentors, and we touch on the role of taste in Austin’s work, as well as matters of process and philosophy as it pertains to collaborating with directors and producers.

On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by Hannah Selin.
Composer, violist and vocalist Hannah Selin works with acoustic instruments, voices, electronics and field recordings to create striking and vibrant sound-worlds. She grew up in southeastern Pennsylvania helping her parents caretake a cemetery and listening to her mother write songs on scordatura guitar. Her music carries from this a sense of the supernatural, a closeness with the earth, and a love all things resonant. Hannah is co-founder and lead singer with the band GADADU, and violist and founding member of Xanthoria Quartet and Violalia Duo. As a violist, Hannah performs with chamber groups and orchestras throughout the New York metropolitan area.
Hannah’s music has been commissioned and performed by ensembles and soloists including Brooklyn Chamber Orchestra, Voices of Ascension, Ave Sol Chamber Choir, Chromic Duo, S.E.M. Ensemble, Argus Quartet, Network for New Music, and vocalist Stephanie Lamprea. Her choral work “Winter” from Four Mountain Songs won second prize in the 2021 Balsys International Composition Competition, as well as the 2022 Red Jasper Award. Dream Journal and the Apocalypse, her debut album as a composer, was released in April 2024 on Gold Bolus Recordings. In the 2024/25 season, Hannah is working on new commissions for CreArtBox, Kamratōn, SPLICE, and pianist Kathleen Supové with support from the Puffin Foundation and the New York State Council for the Arts. Hannah holds a PhD in composition from Temple University and currently teaches at Rowan University.
In this conversation, Hannah discusses how her entry point into music composition was quite a bit different than maybe most people's and how she works with manipulating sound to discover interesting musical material. Nature is also a significant part of Hannah’s creative process, and she and Tyler get into the weeds about that… and bond over their mutual love of Italo Calvino.

On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by Roger Zare.
Roger Zare has been praised for his “enviable grasp of orchestration” by the New York Times and for writing music with “formal clarity and an alluringly mercurial surface.” He was born in Sarasota, FL, and has written for a wide variety of ensembles, from solo instruments to full orchestra.
Often inspired by science, mathematics, literature, and mythology, his colorfully descriptive and energetic works have been performed on six continents by such ensembles as the American Composers Orchestra, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Sarasota Orchestra, the Australian-based Trio Anima Mundi, the Donald Sinta Quartet, and the New York Youth Symphony.
This conversation is an absolute deep dive into all sorts of scientific topics, but there's no need to worry. You’ll quickly realize that Roger speaks about these things in a down-to-earth way, which serves him well in his creative practice. Much of Roger’s work involves connecting complex matters with musical audiences and, in some cases, young musicians.
Roger also discusses his musical roots growing up in Sarasota, his first experience as a composer at a very young age, and how his focus on large ensemble writing has shaped his pathway as a composer.
Roger and his work can be found online at rogerzare.com.

On this episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by Han Hitchen.
Award-winning composer Han Hitchen writes for a wide range of genres, spanning across various acoustic and electroacoustic settings. His music is informed by his experiences as a queer person, and draws inspiration from socially taboo topics that he hopes to bring attention to, such as menstruation cycles, family discourse, death/mortality, and reproductive rights.
Hitchen graduated with an MM in Composition and Theory from Penn State University, where they studied with Baljinder Singh Sekhon, II and Sarah Genevieve Burghart Rice. During their time at Penn State, he served as Vice President for Living Music, a student organization dedicated to the performance and promotion of music by living composers. He was also a graduate facilitator of the discussion group Beyond the Binary at the Penn State’s Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity.
Since Han’s identity is so intrinsic to his creative expression, a significant chunk of this conversation is focused on that. Han also talks about those taboo topics that he explores in his music, as well as the ways he champions marginalized folks within and outside of his music.
Han and his music can be found online at https://hanhitchen.com/.

On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by Shruthi Rajasekar.
Named by The Guardian as a composer "who will enrich your life", Shruthi Rajasekar is an Indian-American musician exploring identity, community, and joy. A 2023 Jerome Hill Artist Fellow, Shruthi draws from her unique dual background in the Carnatic (South Indian classical) and Western classical traditions to create intersectional music.
She was awarded the Global Women in Music Award from the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights & Donne in Musica Adkins Chiti Foundation. Shruthi has been an artist-in-residence at Tusen Takk Foundation, Britten Pears Arts, and the Anderson Center. As a soprano and Carnatic vocalist, Shruthi has performed and recorded in numerous traditional and experimental settings. She was a Marshall Scholar in the UK, where she pursued postgraduate studies in composition and ethnomusicology. A graduate of Princeton University, Shruthi lives in Minnesota and serves on the board of new music chamber ensemble Zeitgeist.
In this conversation, Tyler takes a deep dive into Shruthi’s intercultural identity and work, and a significant part of this discussion is Shruthi sharing her journey as a musician with roots in Carnatic music and how that has melded with her work as a Western classical composer over time.
She and Tyler also talk a bit about gatekeeping issues in the contemporary music field, how composers might consider placing more emphasis on process rather than product, and what experimentation means to her in her work.

On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by composer Gabriel Bolaños.
Gabriel José Bolaños Chamorro is a Nicaraguan/American composer of solo, chamber, orchestral and electroacoustic music. He frequently collaborates closely with performers, and enjoys writing music that explores unusual techniques, structures, and timbres. He is interested in computer-assisted-composition, auditory perception, linguistics, graphic notation, improvisation, and modular synthesizers.

He received a BA in music from Columbia University and a PhD in Composition and Theory from UC Davis.
In this conversation Tyler and Gabriel cover a lot of ground, and get into the weeds a bit with some pretty academic topics… but first, Gabriel discusses how the guitar was the entry point into music; his Nicaraguan roots, and how that does - and, maybe more importantly, does not - influence his music; how he leverages computer-based tools to assist him in his compositional practices; and lots, lots more.
Gabriel and his music can be found online at https://gabrielbolanos.com/.

On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by composer Ania Vu.
Polish of Vietnamese descent composer and pianist, Ania Vu (née Vũ Đặng Minh Anh) writes music that explores the interplay between the sound properties of the words and their meanings, musical energy related to form, and varied notions of time. She also enjoys crafting her own text that serves as a sonic, formal, and expressive guiding reference in her musical writing process.
Her music has been described by the Boston Globe as an exhibition of "artful vocal writing [that] ranges from percussive whispers to glinting, pure-voiced lines that [...] blended elegantly into the roiling cauldron of strings.” Ania is the 2024 Composer-in-Residence at the Chelsea Music Festival, and has received recognition and fellowships from the American Opera Project, ASCAP, Copland House, Tanglewood, the Boston New Music Initiative, and the I-Park Foundation.
In this conversation, Ania shares what it was like growing up with a mom who is also a composer; how her multicultural background and interest in languages manifests in her music; the role of time as a philosophy in her practice; and so much more.
You can find Ania online at https://ania.vu.

On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by Daijana Wallace.
Daijana Wallace is a composer and educator based in Wichita, KS. Her music is an outward reflection of her own introspection, drawing inspiration from any and every thought that crosses her mind from the mundane aspects of daily life to specific memories about a percussive upstairs neighbor.
Daijana’s compositions have been heard at venues such as Wichita Art Museum, and MASS MoCA, as well as PASIC and International Society of Basses conferences. Daijana holds Bachelors’ Degrees and a Master’s Degrees from Wichita State University and Michigan State University respectively. When she’s not busy composing, she’s teaching music in the greater Wichita area.
Daijana and Tyler wade into some complex and heavy subjects in this conversation: She shares how tragedy sparked her journey as a composer, the struggles she faced in her work after George Floyd's untimely demise, and what it took to bounce back from an ensuing artistic slump. Daijana also talks about how intentionality is a big part of her compositional thinking and even get to talk about some of her hobbies.
(Note: Daijana is pronounced Day-on-a, like spending a day-on-a beach.)

On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by James May.
James May is a composer, improviser, teacher, photographer, and writer. His work explores unfurling, fragile spaces through notated scores, improvisation environments, live electronics, field recordings, extended vocal technique, and text. He’s especially interested in combining techniques to encourage the exploration of new sounds or generate unpredictable systems in which performers can dwell.
He’s a member of Versipel New Music in New Orleans, has published writing in Sound American and RTÉ Culture, taught courses on music production techniques and field recording at Tulane University, and is an active free improviser in the Gulf South. James is beginning a PhD in Music and Multimedia Composition at Brown University in the fall of 2024.
In this conversation, James shares how studying composition as an undergrad was really his only option to pursue music as a career - a departure from the typical path of music education or performance; he and Tyler bond over the way each of us entered the world of electronic music; he discusses the transformative year he spent studying Experimental Sound Design in Cork, Ireland; how he broke away from approaching free improvisation with a composer’s perspective and how that, in turn, influences his compositional work today; and so, so much more.
James can be found online at jamesmaycomposer.com.

Today on music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler meets up with hair stylist Anna Huffka on location at her hair studio, [the iki movement].
Anna Huffka is the owner and operator of [the iki movement], an all-inclusive hair studio based in Lexington, KY where they’ll pamper you in just about any way you can imagine, offering everything from hair sculpting - yes, sculpting, not cutting - to hair coloring, and lots other services to help you feel your best self.
As you can imagine, this episode is a bit of a departure from the usual fare you hear on music/Maker, but don’t worry - it’s all good stuff. Anna and Tyler cover a lot of ground in a short bit of time, like how - when in elementary school - she would help cut her grandma’s hair, the influence of her Japanese heritage on her creative practice and business, the differences between styling individuals in a salon versus styling models for a fashion show - and so much more.
You can check out Anna's work on her studio's Instagram page @theikimovement.
More information about [the iki movement] is on their website, https://www.theikimovement.com/.

On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by composer Joshua Mallard.
Joshua Mallard is an award-winning composer currently residing in Austin, Texas. Joshua's eclectic body of work seeks to reshape musical idioms and embrace experimentation. His work consists of music for game, film, and classical music.He has worked with companies and studios such as Blipsounds, Super Evil Megacrop, E-Line Media, Lunchbox Entertainment, and Critcrew, and his music has been performed internationally by a variety of ensembles, including HyperCube and Rote Hund Muzik.
In this conversation, Joshua and Tyler dig into all things music and sound design for video games through the lens of the work Joshua does in that space… but he also discuss how he views himself as a bit of a musical chameleon, and how he operates in the very different worlds of contemporary concert music and game music.
