Composer and multi-instrumentalist Tate Egon Chavez explores the intimacy of unconventional sounds with his compositions for new media and film. During and since completion of undergraduate studies in music and economics at the University of California, Berkeley, he has designed soundscapes for works featured in festivals internationally, including Singapore Inside Out: Tokyo (2017), Ars Electronica Deep Space 8K (2016, 19), and the Raw Science Film Festival (2020). With a background in classical performance and modern production techniques, Chavez's compositions play with distinctions of traditional and contemporary. He is currently based in Los Angeles.
