Something of a typical 21st century composer, Caleb Westby’s influences largely revolve around jazz, rock, metal, and video game music. He holds a Bachelor of Music in music education from Northern Arizona University as well as a Masters and Doctorate of Music Composition from the University of Oklahoma. His music has been performed at the International Computer Music Conference (ICMC), Electronic Music Midwest (EMM), the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival (NYCEMF), and the North American Saxophone Alliance (NASA) Region 4 and Biennial conferences. Fascinated by the power of utterance and language, Caleb has a penchant for incorporating the human voice into his compositions both electronic and otherwise. He has written extensively for wind band as well as acoustic instruments featured alongside electronic mediums, most recently taking an interest in how electronic media can augment music’s abilities as a form of commentary.
