Pyam Pendleton is a composer and sound designer based in New York, creating music in a variety of genres spanning from contemporary orchestral and chamber works to pop and rock production.
Pyam’s musical experience began at an early age when he attended music therapy, leading him to become interested in piano improvisation and music production, influenced by movie and video game soundtracks rather than classical study. Performances of Pyam’s work include Opening Light, performed by JACK Quartet in 2020, and Untended Anchor, performed by Junction Trio in 2021. Having previously studied with Dr. Max Grafe at Kaufman Music Center as well as Grammy-winning artist Jon Samson, Pyam is currently enrolled as a B.M. student in San Francisco Conservatory’s Technology and Applied Composition program. Pyam intends to pursue a professional career composing for the video game and film industries.
