About Hyperprism Music

Established in 2018 and based in Fort Collins, Colorado, Hyperprism Music, LLC  is dedicated to advancing awareness and understanding of concert music via live performance and recordings, featuring established and emerging composers, conductors, and performers. Hyperprism is particularly focused on advocating for young and emerging musicians; encouraging the creation of new music for winds, brass, and percussion; and enriching the musical community of the Colorado Front Range region.

What we provide

Hyperprism works to further concert music through a variety of activities:

• Recordings - We create professional quality recordings for living composers at a fraction of the cost of traditional labels. We place a particular emphasis on recording music for wind and percussion instruments and ensembles that have limited repertoire.  
• Distribution and Publication - We provide publication and/or distribution services for living composers' works on a selective basis. Composers retain publication royalties and a 50% cut of all retail sales with no shipping or printing costs.
• Musician and Ensemble Contracting - We provide musicians for hire for regional concerts and other events throughout the Colorado Front Range region. From as small as a clarinet sonata to a full orchestra, we are here to meet your needs.
• Education and Advocacy - Through workshops and festivals for composers, conductors, and performers, Hyperprism creates fantastic multi-faceted events that inform and inspire professional musicians. The Hyperprism board has decades of experience as music teachers from elementary age through graduate school.

Why "Hyperprism"?

Our name is taken from Edgard Varése's famously brash 1923 composition Hyperprism which was written for an unusual combination of winds, brass, and percussion instruments.  Varése is particularly well known for his pioneering and fearless approach to composition, and his attitude is inspirational to all of us.   

"Possible musical forms are as limitless as the exterior forms of crystals." - Edgard Varése
