Alex Wand is a composer originally from Michigan, and has studied at the University of Michigan School of Music and CalArts with composers Steve Rush, Bright Sheng, Michael Fink, and Wolfgang von Schweinitz. During college, Alex spent a month in Varanasi, India and there began his continued interest in Hindustani music. He then went to live in Seville, Spain for a year where he studied classical and flamenco guitar. Alex incorporates these influences with his study of western classical music (think Part, Reich, Andriessen), his budding interest in Just Intonation, and an element of folksiness to create a music that has both foreign and familiar elements. Along with his penchant for writing in the third person, he sings and plays guitar, sitar and other various stringed instruments and has been in bands Light in August, The Dry County Boys and Our Brother the Native.
