Aaron Hynds, recording coordinator

Dr. Aaron Hynds is a Kentucky-based audio engineer, low brass performer, and composer. He currently works as the Lecturer of Music Business and New Media at the University of Kentucky, teaching courses in audio recording and the music industry and directing the RocKats rock ensemble. His creative practice as both performer and composer focuses on the intersection of digital and analog domains, with a particular emphasis on the use of his primary instrument, the tuba. He has performed widely throughout the United States, with many recent performances consisting exclusively of newly-written compositions for the tuba and bass trombone. His music has likewise been performed in a number of venues around the world, including at (inter)national conferences like the 2018 SEAMUS and the 2016 Toronto International Electroacoustic Symposium. Upcoming projects include the performance and engineering of a double-CD of commissioned works for the tuba, titled Colossus: New Works for Solo Tuba, and the publication of the print version of his doctoral document, The Composer’s Guide to the Tuba.
