Scott Wollschleger (born 1980) is an American composer based in New York City.
He was a co-founder and co-Artistic Director of Red Light New Music, a new music ensemble based in New York, with Christopher Cerrone, Vincent Raikhel, and Liam Robertson.
[8] Wollschleger has been commissioned by and worked with the String Orchestra of Brooklyn,[9][10] Longleash,[11] loadbang,[12] Mivos Quartet,[13][14] and with soloists Anne Lanzilotti, Karl Larson, Rachel Lee Priday.
[19] Wollschleger calls much of his music "brontal", an idiosyncratic adjective invented by the composer to describe the paradoxes inherent in his work, which stems from his deep involvement with the works of philosopher Gilles Deleuze.
[20][21][22] His music has been compared to that of Morton Feldman by Ethan Iverson, pianist of The Bad Plus,[23] and has been described as "apocalyptic,"[24] "distinctive and magnetic," and possessing a "hushed, cryptic beauty"[25] by Alex Ross.
