|Jlin: Perspectives
A Virtual Conversation with Producer/Composer Jlin
In advance of Shenandoah Conservatory’s performance by Flutronix and Third Coast Percussion, join a virtual cross-institution conversation with one of the featured composer’s, Jlin. Hailed by Pitchfork as “one of the most forward-thinking contemporary composers in any genre,” Jlin is also regarded as one of the most distinctive composers in America and one of the most influential women in electronic music.
A math lover, a former steel factory worker and a proud resident of Gary Indiana, Jlin, (née Jerrilyn Patton) has risen to become one of the most distinctive composers in America and one of the most influential women in electronic music. Jlin’s introduction to producing music stems from Chicago footwork, but diverse influences ranging from Igor Stravinsky and Philip Glass to Miles Davis and Eartha Kitt, give Jlin’s complex percussion-driven work a sophisticated polyrhythmic sound all its own.
This conversation is sponsored by Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation Arts Connect grant in partnership with Shenandoah Conservatory, University of Richmond Modlin Center, University of Maryland Clarice Center, Rowan University Marie Rader Presenting Series and Lehigh University Zoellner Arts Center.
