about

Artist: Riley Nicholson
www.RileyNicholson.com

MUNI and BART are a unique and sometimes harmonious intersection of San Francisco. The function of these trains is movement, with thousands of commuters dependent on its motion yet potentially numb to its sounds and people. "Go" represents the everyday hustle, drive, and rush using field recordings of MUNI, BART, and street noise to highlight it's soundscape and bringing poignancy to it's experience.

Biography: D. Riley Nicholson has composed for a wide range of ensembles, mediums, and performance venues including music for contemporary ballet, theater, orchestral music, chamber music, electroacoustic music, and vocal music. Riley feels comfortable writing for electric guitar one day and string orchestra the next; his music can be described as metaphorically rich, innovative, and modern, but never inaccessible or overly intellectual.

Fascinated and committed to working with artists outside of music as well as within, past collaborations include original music for SwitchBoard Music, Ballet Memphis's Cecily Khuner, Post:Ballet, Three Penny Theater, Cello Street Quartet, SFCM New Music ensemble, Balmoral Chamber Orchestra, Ensemble Roar, Hot Air Music Festival, San Francisco Conservatory of Music Percussion Ensemble, University of Memphis Percussion Ensemble, and many other talented artists and organizations.

Riley is the three time recipient of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music Professional Development grant, and is the recipient of the Horizons Foundation grant in support of his work One, for large string orchestra, which headlined Hot Air Music Festival on March 6th, 2016.

Riley has a M.M. in Composition from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, a B.M. in percussion performance, and a B.A. in psychology from the University of Memphis. During his studies, Riley studied with David Garner, Mason Bates, Ryan Brown, Kamran Ince, and many other insightful teachers.

In addition to composing and performing, Riley is currently the Production Manager for the Center for New Music and the Company Manager for Post:Ballet.
