Projects

For composers and artists who dream in music…

Contemporaneous IMAGINATION is the place for your wildest dreams. We want to hear the ideas you might tell yourself are impossible to realize. If you dream of something you know could create if you had no restrictions, we want to hear about it. If you've written something that does not fit into the expectations for newly commissioned music, but you know that it will have a profound effect on those who experience it... we want to help bring it to life.

Share your dreams with us!

Contemporaneous is devoted to expanding the imagination through music and collaborative art forms (and forms of art not yet invented). It is our mission to help you bring about the most meaningful dreams, the ones that don’t seem possible, through the unquenchably open-minded spirit of our 23 incredible musicians and the full force of our artistic and development team. We want to encourage you to be daring as you imagine the future— we promise to respond with the seriousness your ideas deserve, no matter how crazy or impossible they may sound.

Recorded Music

Imagination Radio

Imagination Radio investigates the ways we search for meaning through music and life, and why people are compelled to create.

Produced by Contemporaneous and hosted by co-artistic directors David Bloom and Dylan Mattingly, Imagination Radio explores the boundless imagination in every walk of life — from BASE-jumping to neuroscience, and cartography to music — in search of what drives each of us to venture into the unknown.

Imagination Radio features episodes that pursue monumental questions of creativity alternating with episodes that dive deep into works that Contemporaneous has commissioned.
