Evan O'Dell

Evan O’Dell (b. 2001) (he/they), is a composer and euphonium player from Atlanta Georgia. His music can be best characterized by its evocative imagery and vibrant eclecticism which transcends genre drawing from minimalism, experimental sound art, and pop-idioms, exploring intersections between internet pop-culture, politics, nature, identity, and the human imagination. O’Dell’s pieces have been featured in performances by new music ensembles across the United States including notable performances by CAMP, Bantam Winds, and the STS Professor’s choir. As a performer O’Dell’s primary focus is 20th and 21st century literature with a specific interest in the avant-garde and the use of extended techniques on brass instruments. O’Dell is currently completing a bachelor of arts in music composition at the Schwob School of Music at Columbus State University. Outside of music he enjoys nature trails, gaming, and spending time with his partner Reeve and cat Theo.
