Hi, I’m Garrett Jay Christian, a composer and artist working at the intersection of sound, narrative, and systems. My work explores how structure, repetition, and transformation shape emotional experience, often drawing on experimental music, electronic media, and speculative storytelling. I am interested in interactive forms that blur the line between composition and play.
