Dylan Champagne’s music—which ranges from avant-garde to accessible, from chamber music to prog-punk—is heavily informed by the 15 years he spent involved in the underground San Francisco Bay Area music scene. His work is often marked by contrasts, extremes, and genre-fluidity, and draws inspiration from extra-musical concepts such as climate change, post-truth politics, and scientific processes. After years of being die-hard DIY, Dylan eventually decided to pursue formal music education at age 39 (starting in 2014), and he now holds a Master’s in music composition from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and a Bachelor’s in music composition from the Lionel Hampton School of Music at the University of Idaho. Dylan is also a singer-songwriter. Current musical projects include IDEOMOTOR, Bigger Boat, and SUPRDOPE. Past musical projects include Vhales, One Step Shift, The New Dysfunctions, Cape Flora, and All Skate. He has been an active member of the Immersion Composition Society since 2001. Dylan also has day jobs as a freelance motion designer, and as a lecturer of Music Composition and Digital Audio Workstation at Lionel Hampton School of Music.
