From the composer: "In Greek mythology, "Elysium" refers to the place in the afterlife that serves as the final resting grounds for the gods, the righteous, and the heroic. The text for 'The Elysian Fields' is take from the Nicholas Breton poem, "Astrophel's Song of Phyllidia and Corydon", which tells the story of two Greek lovers... This piece serves as an expression and exploration of the vast spectacle that is Elysium, as well as Crydon's own internal struggle with mortality.

BRAYDEN CARR is an Austin, Texas based composer currently studying at Southwestern University. Through their music, Brayden seeks to reconcile between process and organicism, finding beauty within patterns, and order within chaos. Through algorithmic and permutative writing, Brayden aims to cloak the listener in dense, rhythmically active textures that unlock harmony through a pointillistic composite.

During their time at Southwestern, Brayden has worked with many esteemed musicians and ensembles, including Brent Mead, Brian Bromberg, and the Mivos quartet. Additionally, Brayden has interned as a composer’s assistant to Brooklyn-based film composer Christopher North, as well as interning in the archival department at Roulette, an experimental music venue in the heart of Brooklyn.
