Brendon Randall-Myers

Brendon Randall-Myers is a composer and guitarist who creates intricate and visceral music at various intersections of rock, experimental, and classical. His music has been described as "astonishing, transfixing, soul-piercing" (Last Rites), "an unflinching testimonial on grief and endurance" (Pitchfork), and "a trance that's always in motion" (Bandcamp Daily).

Brendon co-leads microtonal metal band Scarcity and is a member of electric guitar quartet Dither. He co-founded math rock band Marateck and avant-rock multimedia collective Invisible Anatomy, both active from 2014–2020. Brendon was a member of the Glenn Branca Ensemble from 2016–2020, initially as a guitarist and later as conductor following Branca's death in 2018. With these groups and others, Brendon has performed in clubs, concert halls, and basements around the world, including the Barbican Theatre (London), the Venice Biennale (Italy), and the Forbidden City Concert Hall (Beijing).

Current and recent projects include "Aveilut" for the String Orchestra of Brooklyn with Scarcity's vocalist Doug Moore; "A Collective Landscape," an evening-length work developed with pianist Miki Sawada and Lakota vocalist Chaz White Feather; and "Only in the Dark," a concerto for cellist Annie Blythe to be performed by Contemporaneous and the Symfonie Orkest Nijmegen.
