"There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot." – John Cage
Aaron Reihs is a composer and saxophonist living in Los Angeles, California. With a background in jazz and film scoring, Aaron uses woodwinds, synthesizers, electronics, and voice to create dreamy, atmospheric soundscapes. Aaron's work explores using instrumental music not as only a means to escape, but rather as a tool to dive deeper into how we experience our environments and ourselves, and to ultimately bring us closer to the non-musical soundscapes we exist in.
​
Aaron has worked with numerous film directors, most recently composing the score for the short Willy Goes Way Back featuring Efron Ramirez (Napoleon Dynamite), and served as the in-house composer at the therapeutic VR company AppliedVR.
​
Cinema Subconscious, released in 2021 on SoulfulXNature, is Aaron's first publicly-released EP, and can be streamed on Spotify, Apple Music, and Bandcamp.
​
Aaron is also a Teaching Artist at Heart of Los Angeles, and offers lessons in saxophone, piano, improvisation, composition, and music production privately.
