CHELSEA KOMSCHLIES, COMPOSER
Chelsea Komschlies draws heavily on deep, abstract visual and conceptual associations in her compositional process. She focuses on finding unexpected textures and techniques to sonically evoke the original complex idea, resulting in a musical sound world that is both adventurous and immediately affective.
Score sales and rentals are now handled by Subito Music Distribution.
