He received his masters at UC Berkeley, and his B.M. at Purchase Conservatory at SUNY, where he studied under Suzanne Farrin, Du Yun, and Huang Ruo. He is currently a Graduate Fellow at CUNY Graduate Center, where he studied with Jay Eckardt and Suzanne Farrin. He works as a teaching fellow and adjunct lecturer at Brooklyn College. Collaborators have included Longleash trio, Mivos Quartet, Kyle Bruckman, Contemporaneous, Eco Ensemble, Dana Saul, Maria Hadge, Jacob Sachs Mishalanie, and others.Matt’s work is animated by the fragmentary, the intimate, the surreal, and the nostalgic. He revels in ambiguous moods, absurd humor, and difficult-to-define emotions. His enduring obsessions include the expressionist Webern, post-war Euromodernist cinema, alternative comedy, and neo-pragmatist philosophy.&nbsp; see matt’s c.v. visit matt’s friends https://mattsandahl.com/Featured-Concert-1 Sat, 30 May 2020 18:27:51 +0000 Matt Sandahl composer https://mattsandahl.com/Featured-Concert-1 Concert Music Featured: Nine Fragments (2017-18) Mivos - score - info Matt Sandahl · Nine Fragments For String Quartet (2017 - 2018) for piano trio (2017) Longleash - score - info Trachte geliebt und nicht-bewundert zu werden (2018-19) Pala Garcia&nbsp;- info https://mattsandahl.com/Featured-Concert-2 Sat, 30 May 2020 18:28:05 +0000 Matt Sandahl composer https://mattsandahl.com/Featured-Concert-2 Nine Movements (2015) Eco Ensemble - score - info Nisi Masa (2012) Purchase New Music - score - info <img width="154" height="82" width_o="154" height_o="82" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fdfcd2e29b154f05ba95c5c0204a6397de3862ada42263be3cfbfce94ac75ebd/Asset-9.png" data-mid="73076747" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/154/i/fdfcd2e29b154f05ba95c5c0204a6397de3862ada42263be3cfbfce94ac75ebd/Asset-9.png" /> https://mattsandahl.com/Compositions-Main-List Sun, 31 May 2020 01:48:54 +0000 Matt Sandahl composer https://mattsandahl.com/Compositions-Main-List measure and melt (2020)for solo cellowritten for and performed by Maria Hadge more coming soon Prince Danila Govorila (2019-2020) opera fragment in five scenes more coming soon Trachte geliebt und nicht-bewundert zu werden (2018-19)for solo violin and tape cassette player written for and performed by Pala Garcia info Seven Regressions (2018)for ensemble premiered by Ecce Ensemble on July 7, 2018 Etchings Festival, Auvillar, Francescore - info Nine Fragments (2017-18) for string quartet premiered by MivosElebash Recital HallThe Graduate Center at CUNYMarch 14, 2018 score - info for piano trio (2017) premiered by LongleashHunter college, 4/5/17 score - info It stays how it is (2016-17) for ensemble premiered by Contemporaneous Elebash Recital Hall CUNY Graduate Center March 7th, 2007 score - info Nine Movements (2015) for pierrot ensemble premiered by Eco EnsembleHertz Hall, Berkeley CA 12/14/15 score - info Blind Window (2014) for solo oboe written for and premiered by Kyle Bruckmann CNMAT, Berkeley CA info Three Pieces (2014) for clarinet quartet written for HighScore Festival Summer 2014 score - info String Quartet (2012) written for SUNY Purchase, Senior Recital, 2012 recording performed by: Alex Fortes (violin) Katie Hyun (violin) DJ Cheek (viola) Michael Nicholas (cello)SUNY Purchase Composer's Portrait Concert5/3/15 the Stone NYC score - info Nisi Misa (2011) for ensemble Purchase New Music Ensemble, 2012 score - info https://mattsandahl.com/Prince-Danila-Govorilla-2019-2020 Sat, 30 May 2020 18:28:25 +0000 Matt Sandahl composer https://mattsandahl.com/Prince-Danila-Govorilla-2019-2020 Prince Danila Govorila (2019-2020) opera fragment in five scenes more coming soon-&gt; https://mattsandahl.com/Trachte-geliebt-und-nicht-bewundert-zu-werden Sat, 30 May 2020 18:28:41 +0000 Matt Sandahl composer https://mattsandahl.com/Trachte-geliebt-und-nicht-bewundert-zu-werden Trachte geliebt und nicht-bewundert zu werden (2018-19)for solo violin and tape cassette playerwritten for and performed by Pala Garcia &lt;- -&gt; https://mattsandahl.com/Seven-Regressions-2018 Sat, 30 May 2020 18:28:54 +0000 Matt Sandahl composer https://mattsandahl.com/Seven-Regressions-2018 Seven Regressions (2018)for ensemble premiered by Ecce Ensemble on July 7, 2018 Etchings Festival, Auvillar, Francescore&nbsp; &lt;- -&gt; https://mattsandahl.com/Nine-Fragments-2017-18 Sat, 30 May 2020 18:29:09 +0000 Matt Sandahl composer https://mattsandahl.com/Nine-Fragments-2017-18 Nine Fragments (2017-18) for string quartet premiered by MivosElebash Recital HallThe Graduate Center at CUNYMarch 14, 2018score &lt;- -&gt; https://mattsandahl.com/for-piano-trio-2017 Sat, 30 May 2020 18:29:35 +0000 Matt Sandahl composer https://mattsandahl.com/for-piano-trio-2017 for piano trio (2017) premiered by LongleashHunter college, 4/5/1score - soundcloud Program note: Metronomic time usually functions as an anchor, a means of orientation. Here, metronomic time is made strange. In that sense this piece takes its cues from Ustvolskaya, a composer who is able to find the otherworldly within dry textures and regular pulsation. None of Ustvolskaya’s tormented spirituality is present here, however. Instead, the piece offers a child-like investigation into the basic elements of music, inviting the listener to hear familiar sounds in a surreal new light, as if for the first time. The piece is animated by a remark from Ludwig Wittgenstein’s personal notebooks: “Don’t,for heaven’s sake be afraid of speaking nonsense. But you must pay attention to your nonsense.” &lt;- -&gt;
