About Me:

My name is Eddie Shannon. I am a flexible composer with experience writing pieces in a variety of musical styles, from medieval organum to contemporary big orchestral and electronic sounds. I am proficient in the following types of harmonic languages:

•  Ancient Greek modes/Medieval polyphony

•  "Common Practice" traditional classical harmony

•  Turko-Arabic maqam

•  Late Romantic ("Bernard Herrmann")

•  Electronic ("Blade Runner")

•  Microtonal/Xenharmonic

•  Exotonal

I have experience working in video game development and film production through UNT's own Scrappy Studios and Short Film Club.

I have experience working with musicians in a variety of concert settings as well, from solo pieces for cello, flute, piano, and more, and string quartet pieces with dance. I have experience learning to play microtonal music myself, so I can guide musicians through the ear training necessary to perform in alternate tuning systems if necessary. I am open for commissions!
