Alex Kotch (b. 1983) fuses classical and electronic dance music. Bringing together "propulsive, post-Minimalist rhythms" (New York Times) with an extensive background in jazz, pop, experimental, electronic, and West African music, he has received honors and fellowships from ASCAP, The Transatlantic Arts Consortium, Duke University, the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, Sequenza21, and Juventas, and commissions from Ensemble Zellig, Trio Saxiana, Nicolas Prost, Silvia Lenzi, Michael Straus, Rare Degree, and the Iktus Percussion Quartet. Alex's works, heard throughout the United States and France, have also seen performances by eighth blackbird, Odd Appetite, and the Lost Dog Ensemble. As a multimedia artist, he has received coverage from ABC News and The Associated Press, and as a performer on clarinet, saxophone, laptop, and djembe, he plays concerts and DJ sets along the East Coast. With a B.A. in Music from Brown University, Alex is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Composition at Duke University. Recent premieres include works for 100 saxophones and for saxophone and drum set, both performed in Paris. Recent solo electronics performances include Providence's Pixilerations Festival, Durham's Troika Music Festival, Minneapolis' Spark Festival, and Chapel Hill's Signalfest.

P.s.--I designed the flier below and the one imediately after. I would be happy to do the same for you. Laterz!
I designed my own album cover for my new album, shown below, "Fuse." Thirteen tracks! My very first album, I might add.
I've been working on this album for the past eight years.
Produced by Angelo "Noe-Beyon" Rodriguez (http://www. myspace. com/noebeyon). He is an amazing producer, whom, without his encouragement, support, time, care, vision, and wisdom, has helped me create this monster-piece, if I may say so.
Thanks to him and many fellow Emcees, I bring you my new Album, "Fuse."
I would like to thank God, Family, and Good Friends!
Featuring are Wells Notty, Wylee, Core Rhythm, and Lex Doe! Thanks Fellas: Ya'll made the sound priceless!
Peace and Blessings ya'll and if anyone's interrested, I'd be happy to design some for any of ya'll!
Peace Hykumaster B-boy, Graff Artist, MC, Beatboxer, Fine Artist That Flier is below for your viewing!
Script writers spit fire, live wire messages mix, mangle, transfix, asphyxiate, and perpetrate some, fine art, that, live art fused into the color wheel, and some color theory spawned from Joseph Albers, smoking Prince Alberts, I don't think in adverbs, just fill a page with mad words, ... boo-ya-kaah ... lol
