Please join us this Friday – April 10 at Noon – for a discussion with one of the most innovative digital musicians out there.  Evan studied percussion in the Jacobs School of Music and developed phenomenal skills in both musicianship and multimedia while in Bloomington.  5 short years later, he’s a successful performer and multimedia artist-producer, a founding member of percussion rock band Square Peg Round Hole and co-founder and owner of Four/Ten Media.  You’ll be able to hear from Evan about where he thinks the world of music is going – especially now, as we all seem to be creating online performances.

Here’s Evan’s Bio

Based in Philadelphia, Evan Chapman is a percussionist, composer, and filmmaker who has built a prolific and unique career by seamlessly blending multimedia and contemporary music. Chapman is a founding member of contemporary-classical percussion trio/rock band Square Peg Round Hole, whose original compositions have been dubbed a “creative adventure” by Bob Boilen (NPR) and have received further acclaim from Modern Drummer Magazine, Paste Magazine, and Mental Floss, among others.

Chapman is also a founder and owner of film production company Four/Ten Media alongside longtime collaborator Kevin Eikenberg. The duo’s background as classically-trained percussionists has allowed them to create fresh and musically authentic representations of pieces in the contemporary classical and pop worlds. Four/Ten’s client list includes internationally-acclaimed artists such as the New York Philharmonic, Steve Reich, Caroline Shaw, the Bang on a Can All-Stars, Sō Percussion, David Lang, Son Lux, Alarm Will Sound, The Crossing Choir, Third Coast Percussion, and many more. Their work has been featured by major press outlets including the New York Times, Alternative Press, NPR, Mental Floss, Paste Magazine, Q2 Music, and I Care If You Listen.

Evan is sponsored by Zildjian Cymbals, Vic Firth Drumsticks, Evans Drumheads, and SJC Custom Drums.
