Julia Craft  |  Composer

Julia Craft is an electronic, instrumental, and choral composer from Southern California, exploring the crossover between the idiomatic practices of acoustic and digital musical language. She began writing music at age 14, using a 10 year old computer and a digital audio workstation. Her music is inspired by jazz fusion, microtonal-electronic music, post-structuralist philosophy, video-game soundtracks, and American minimalism.

She received her B.M. in Music Composition from California State University, Fullerton, and is currently pursuing her M.M. from the same institution. There, she studied composition with CSUF Director of Composition Ken Walicki, and director of the CSUF New Music Ensemble, Eric Dries. She has also studied piano with Grammy Award-winning pianist & composer Bill Cunliffe.

Besides composing, she also teaches lessons in composition, music theory, and piano.
