About
Albin Lohr-Jones is a New York-based composer, independent scholar, and architectural designer. He holds a B.A. from Marietta College in Music and Philosophy and a M.A. in Music Composition from the University of Iowa where his principle teachers included Lawrence Fritts and Jeremy Dale Roberts. Before departing from academia, he studied composition under Louis Karchin, Elizabeth Hoffman and Arthur Keiger as a doctoral fellow at NYU's Graduate School of Arts and Science. His writings focus on phenomenology of time; on analysis and aesthetics of post-serial music; and on various intersections of axiomatic set theory with twentieth-century French philosophy (with special emphasis on the writings of Gilles Deleuze, Alain Badiou, and Jacques Derrida). He is currently at work on a collection of critical essays on the music and compositional processes of Brian Ferneyhough.
