Isaiah 55: 10-12

10
     As the rain and the snow come down from heaven,
and do not return to it without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
11
     so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
12
     You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

*performed by the Uppsala kammarorkester; winner of the 2014 Uppsala Tonsättartävling and Publikens Pris*

Northfield, MN 55057

Musika Nova is a St. Olaf College student organization created for the purpose of sharing new and experimental music in our community. Composers, performers, and fans of new music are all welcome to join. In addition to working with guest artists, the group meets weekly for discussion and sharing of new works, and holds several recitals, concerts, and get-togethers throughout the year.

We aspire to foster a healthy community of self-motivated artists within the St. Olaf community. We work in a way that tries to fill in the gaps at St. Olaf for composers, musicians, and other unique sound artists. We hope to present innovative, engaging, and creative works in ways that allow for inclusivity and broad appeal.

Born in Scotland and raised in the tropical rainforests of Costa Rica and Honduras, I enjoy adventures both close to home and in far away places. Composers which have inspired me include: Michael Nyman, Ludovico Einaudi, Arvo Pärt, Eric Whitacre, Thomas Newman, Alexandre Desplat, John Williams and Philip Glass. 

I find music can express much more than words alone. Improvising on the piano somehow feels like the most natural way to express my feelings. 

No matter where you are from or what language you speak, music is universal.

Through my endeavours, I have been fortunate enough to have received several music awards including from the EMI Sound Foundation, the Worshipful Company of Leathersellers, the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Awards for Young Musicians, the Musicians Benevolent Fund, the Walter Bergmann Fund, the North-East of Scotland Music School,  the Robert Nicol Trust, the Dr John Calder Trust and the Cross Trust.

I also work as a private tutor. In case you would like to arrange a lesson, please follow the link below:

R.A. Moulds studied music at the University of Southern Mississippi.

In my current work, I am largely concerned with quiet tension, exposedness, and the simultaneous grandiosity and intimacy that a “small” music can create.

See my process, hear my works and gain insight into the world of contemporary music by following me here and on social media.

Matthew Peterson (b. 1984) writes music that explores frontiers of sound and expression. He has composed over sixty works commissioned and performed by orchestras, choirs, opera companies, chamber ensembles, and soloists around the world. He lives in Dalarna, Sweden.
