Composer Alex Temple is with Arizona State University's School of Music in the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts and is an assistant professor of music composition. As someone who loves both the Western classical tradition and the world of pop culture, Temple prefers to look for points of connection between things that are not supposed to belong together, distorting and combining iconic sounds to create new meanings — often in service of surreal, cryptic or fantastical stories. She is particularly interested in reclaiming socially disapproved-of “cheesy” sounds, playing with the boundary between funny and frightening and investigating lost memories and secret histories. In addition to performing her own works for voice and electronics, Temple has collaborated with performers and ensembles such as Mellissa Hughes, Julia Holter, Amanda Gookin, wild Up, Spektral Quartet and the American Composers Orchestra.
