Brian Ledwidge Flynn (MA Mus.) is an Irish born Composer, Guitar player, Producer and Music Tutor living in Dortmund, Germany.
Brian's compositional process is largely influenced by how music can affect our perception of time. His compositions and productions often employ the use of traditional chamber instrumentation in combination with 1/4" and Compact Cassette Tape to infuse the works with an ethereal quality, physicality and unpredictability typical of the medium.
Brian's scores are often devised so as to produce incommensurable outcomes; pieces that, through the presentation of 'choice' options presented to the performers within a strict framework, result in an auditory experience that is both unchanging yet never identical. Flynn's compositions have been performed internationally by a wide variety of artists, ensembles and bands and his extensive sync library compositions & productions for radio, television & multi-media are regularly licensed worldwide by national broadcasters, advertisers, film makers and multi-media content creators.
Flynn is a founding member of the Irish Composers' Collective, The Magnetic State Cassette Label [Berlin], the Make Believe Sync Library and The Engine Room Orchestra [Silent Movie Ensemble] amongst other endeavours relating to the larger music community.
In addition to his work as a composer and producer, Brian is an experienced and enthusiastic tutor for composition, production and guitar, bass & piano and performs this role in both universities and schools.
"What fascinates me most about the composition process is its unparalleled ability to convey intention and emotion in the absence of any additional information beyond the music itself. When we hear sound and interpret it as music, there may quite possibly be something supernatural occurring unbeknownst to us."
