Elliot Galvin

"Composing can sometimes be a lonely pursuit, but Music Patron helps to break through this and make it feel like the process is something you can share, as much as the product."

Elliot’s work spans and fuses multiple worlds including jazz, improvisation, contemporary classical and sound installation.  His work explores the role of improvisation in blending different musical worlds and the use of eclectic juxtapositions of sound in a variety of environments and contexts. What does being one of Elliot's patrons look like? Patrons get a comprehensive and authentic picture of Elliot's creative process as he shares first-listens of new works, detailed analysis of his technique and experimentation, and reflections on his collaborations with fellow artists and musicians. Supporting a composer on Music Patron gives you a first-hand perspective on the many elements within the creative process, and an understanding of an authentic journey of a composer.
