A multi-instrumentalist on saxophones & clarinets, composer and improviser, Aram Shelton was recently featured in Downbeat, and compared in the press to a young Roscoe Mitchell or Anthony Braxton. His groups in Chicago include the Fast Citizens (Delmark Records), Rolldown (Cuneiform), and his own Arrive. While studying at Mills, Shelton developed compositions wherein written phrases played by orchestral instruments are rearranged via custom built patches in MAX/MSP. He continues to improvise and compose electroacoustic music focused on these concepts. Meanwhile, he’s been fortunate to perform with a wide variety of talented musicians including Ken Vandermark, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Weasel Walter, Rob Mazurek, Jessica Pavone, Kevin Drumm, and Chris Brown. He has performed in Europe, Canada and the United States including appearances at Chicago Jazz Fest, Suoni per il Popolo in Montreal, and Krakow Autumn Jazz Fest. Other recordings of his are on 482 Music, Locust Music, and his own Singlespeed Music.
