music/Maker with Tyler Kline Loose Leaf Transmissions

Today on music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by composer and tubist Brett Copeland.
Dr. Brett Copeland is a tuba player, educator, composer, and music technologist who holds the position of Associate Adjunct Professor of Tuba and Euphonium at the University of Northern Iowa where he teaches Applied Lessons, Low Brass Techniques, directs the UNITUBA ensemble, and teaches a course on Electronic Composition. 
Brett's artistic endeavors extend beyond performance, as he recently co-authored The Creative Listener with other members of NewStream Brass, an innovative method book aimed at providing a resource for music educators to teach audiation and improvisation concepts effectively. Furthermore, his passion for composition shines through his acoustic and electro-acoustic works.
In this conversation, Brett and Tyler cover a lot of ground: Brett shares how he thinks about tuba with electronics and how that is different from how most tuba players might think of it; we reminisce about hanging out with friends at lunch in grad school, and how that’s impacted Brett’s musical thinking; how a composer might leverage AI to break out of their comfort zone; and what it’s like returning to his undergrad as a professor.

On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by composer Andrew Noseworthy.
Andrew Noseworthy is a multidisciplinary artist whose music reflects upon the acceptance/rejection of “locality” while drawing from lived experiences of isolation within his hometown of Labrador West and the tight-knit arts community of St John's (Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada), along with the expansive post-genre scenes of New York City. His work addresses ideas of post-regional spaces and questions of accessibility for the musical voices within them.
In this conversation, Tyler asks Andrew about all of those points in his bio, which he discusses beautifully… but they also explore other topics related to Andrew's practice, such as his DIY spirit and alternative models of creation that are independent of institutional support, what sustainability and accessibility in a creative practice like composition might look like, and how music outside of the Western classical or contemporary classical repertoire impacts his work.

On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by composer Shelley Washington.
Shelley Washington has emerged as an important and powerful voice of her generation. Her music has been presented by leading ensembles including the Long Beach Opera company, Boston Lyric Opera company, the Kansas City Symphony, and in NPR’s Dolly Parton’s America podcast and Vox Media’s Explained on Netflix. Washington is an active performer and collaborator, co-founding the composer collective Kinds of Kings and performing in the Los Angeles based ensemble, Wild Up and in her Brooklyn-based band, Good Looking Friends. She is on faculty at New York University Steinhardt and completing her PhD at Princeton University. She lives in Brooklyn with her dog, Rodeo.
This is a really amazing and lengthy conversation, but it’s a good one: Shelley and Tyler talk discuss how she’s taken big swings and chances in her career; growing up in the Midwest and how that part of her identity filters into her music; her love of all things textile arts; the impact that her neurodivergency has had on her creative practice; how she turns her own opportunities into advocacy for other underrepresented artists; and lots, lots more.

On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by composer Emma O'Halloran.
If you’re not familiar with Emma or her music, you’re in for a real treat. There is definitely a quality to her work that could be described as magical: it’s buoyant, effervescent, nostalgic—there’s a lot of good in it, which is really a reflection of who she is as a person.
Irish composer Emma O’Halloran is interested in joy, wonder, hope, and connection, and her music is driven by a desire to capture the magic of what it means to be human. Freely intertwining acoustic and electronic music, Emma has written for folk musicians, chamber ensembles, turntables, laptop orchestra, symphony orchestra, opera, and theatre, and her work has been described as “intensely beautiful” by the Washington Post and “unencumbered, authentic, and joyful” by I Care If You Listen.
In this conversation, Emma and Tyler discuss how she views storytelling through music as a way of capturing emotions and hard-to-articulate feelings; her experience as a composer in both the US and in Ireland, and how those two countries are different for composers; the joys of collaborating with others; of course, her artistic path as a composer, and so much more.

On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by composer Baljinder Sekhon.
“Clearly knowing the power of sonority,” Baljinder Sekhon's music has been presented in over 600 concerts in 26 countries. From works for large ensembles to solo works to electronic music, Baljinder’s music demonstrates a wide range of genres and styles. He is Associate Professor of Music Composition at Penn State University.
In this wide-ranging conversation, Baljinder traces his journey from when he was a kid searching for something in his house that sounded like a snare drum, to his role as a percussionist for most of his early musical life - and why it took him a while to admit to being a composer - and how all of that has lead him to think about sound and music in some really fascinating ways.
Other topics of discussion include how he thinks about the business of composition, his work as a professor and teaching young composers not just how to compose, but how to be a composer holistically, and much more.
