Raised in Warm Springs, Georgia (population <475), Alan Shockley holds degrees in composition and theory from the University of Georgia, The Ohio State University, and Princeton University (Ph.D.). He has held residencies at the MacDowell Colony, the Atlantic Center for the Arts, the Centro Studi Ligure, and the Virginia Center for the Arts, among others. These days his works are often experiments in musical form - attempts at tailoring the form to the material, resulting in a unique shape for each piece, and hopefully one that "works" in a strange and individual way. He's currently Assistant Professor of Composition/Theory in the Cole Conservatory of Music at California State University, Long Beach.
