Jill Fraser

Jill Fraser is a composer and electronic music pioneer whose career encompasses over 40 years of work making music for films, commercials, games and, in the wild, as quote-unquote, 'entertainment.' Her ever-evolving curiosity about music as both a science and an aesthetic/spiritual force to be reckoned with is showcased on her forthcoming album, Earthly Pleasures, a resetting of American revival-style hymns of the late 19th/early 20th century. Exploring the music as language and code via arrangements with early Serge systems and newer modules like the Ableton Push 3, Jill is not simply making expressive and personal music. While her new work speculates upon death and what comes after it, it also considers how the things we derive meaning from today will look and sound like when encountered by the diverse and unknowable seekers and technologies of the future.
