Epic is the new short

Randy Gibson is a composer, performer, and nascent film-maker living and working in Brooklyn. He began his musical training studying drums, and later marimba, in Boulder, Colorado. In the summer of 1998 he traveled to Japan, where he studied marimba with Keiko Abe. In early 2003, Gibson began studies with seminal minimalist composer La Monte Young, which has brought the heart of his music into focus, and reinforced his commitment to quality in his craft. His pieces often incorporate elements of the world music he has studied, most recently and prominently Raga singing with La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela. His recent large works in just intonation highlight his interest in small sounds and subtle shifting patterns in a unique sonic environment that unfold ritualistically through the course of a performance.

Gibson's work has been performed around the world and at several major festivals including the Spark Festival for Electronic Music and Art, The Dusseldorf Internationale Tanzmesse NRW, the Boulder International Fringe Festival, the Erick Hawkins Legacy Forum, and the opening celebration of the new Denver Art Museum.

Following their successful collaboration, 'Alicia,' Randy Gibson and Ana Baer-Carrillo founded Avant Media in 2003 with the goal of encouraging cross-discipline collaboration.
