about

Composer and improviser Dr. Matthew Evan Taylor (1980) has been hailed as a composer of “insistent and defiant…envelopingly hypnotic” music (Alan Young, Lucid Culture). Dr. Taylor’s work is sparked by his curiosity about the surrounding world and the inherent social bonds built through music. Whether he is addressing issues about the nature of time or the bounds of the human breath on musical performance, Dr. Taylor writes music that is engaging, surprising, and unmistakably human. His aesthetic is typified by vibrant instrumental colors, mercurial juxtapositions, and an affinity for groove. Innovative projects such as Life Returns, Say Their Names, Postcards to the Met, and The Unheard Mixtapes were created as new templates for composition and performance in the wake of the pandemic. His ongoing series The Living Score aims to decolonize the compositional process by democratizing the most precious Western musical artifact – the musical score. Dr. Taylor’s music is available through New Amsterdam Records.

Get Up! (2022) is an homage to the feeling I still get when I hear the solos of Cannonball Adderley and Maceo Parker. As a young, aspiring alto saxophonist, I would greedily listen to and play along with their best solos. Enjoy the funk, delight in the energy, and get up!
-Matthew Evan Taylor
