Preston Peak (b. 1998) is passionate about studying music’s origins, innovations, cultural deviations and similarities, and incorporating historical, theological, and biblical themes into his music. His aesthetic embraces both extreme dissonance and clear tonality. Timbre, microtonality, and electronic sounds are three of his favorite tools to play with to create nuanced sounds. Additionally, tonality is implored to provide clear musical direction, to tell a story, and to bring about emotional themes and motifs which catch the ear. Originally attending Texas A&M university, Preston has written for various ensemble sizes, solo instruments, and mediums - including live performance and video game accompaniment. He lives in Houston, TX with his wife Hailey, and he continues his studies with Dr. Saad Haddad.
