Thank you to Julian Cowley for including me on The Wire’s Modern Composition year-end list at #4! And also for this beautiful review in Musicworks:
“… in Brandon’s compositions she relishes sound as a malleable material, as well as appreciating its structural and developmental potential .. yet each is physically involving, sonically dramatic, and not at all cerebral, in that word’s negative sense. The dynamo of excitement that animates Brandon’s disciplined inquiries also energizes her music, and the exhilaration of discovery reverberates through its forms … Brandon’s music embodies and transmits her inquisitive, exploratory spirit as it takes audible shape through the enactment of articulated perceptions.”

Thank you to Simon Cummings of 5against4 for his kind review of Lysis.
“… Taken on its own terms, this is cogent, arresting, riveting music, highly original and individual, demonstrating a consistency of approach while allowing for every piece to have its own unique identity and dialect of Brandon’s fascinating musical language.”
