"it comes in waves" is a composition for prepared vibraphone and electronics commissioned by Gloria Yehilevsky in 2019 for her "Waveshape" recital program, representing a large wave (and its parallels with life itself) as it comes up, with ebbs and flows throughout. The electronic track is created exclusively from processed samples of vibraphone sounds recorded by Gloria.

Samn Johnson (b. 1991) is a composer and electronic musician based in Kalamazoo, Michigan. His work juxtaposes music of different times and traditions as a vehicle to explore themes of mysticism and deep time. Samn has studied composition at The Interlochen Arts Academy and the University of Michigan and is pursuing a masters in composition at NYU, where he studies with Julia Wolfe. His current projects include an album of electro-acoustic vocal and instrumental pieces and a multimedia adaptation of Boethius’s Consolation of Philosophy.

I am an American recently graduated from the University of Michigan with a bachelors degree in music composition. I started learning piano at age 6 and have been composing ever since. At age 10 I began studying the clarinet. I played clarinet in woodwind ensembles and orchestras, and also played jazz saxophone. My first major influences were Beethoven, and Swing: especially Benny Goodman. I love classical music, including late Beethoven, Chopin, Mahler, Richard Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Berg's Violin Concerto, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, and Shostakovich, as well as jazz including Benny Goodman, Cannonball Adderley, Dave Brubeck. I also greatly enjoy the music of Chris Thile (bluegrass), Inti Illimani, Bob Marley, and Bela Fleck.
