Aaron Pond is a musician and curator active in the east coast improvised music scene from Philadelphia to Miami.  ​Emerging from a childhood steeped in the rigorous forms of Judaic and classical music, Pond now plays with and transcends musical genres. Since 2014, he has dedicated himself to improvisation and oral composition. Utilizing Horn, Wagner Tuba, Homemade Flutes, and Electronics he has developed a voice defined by a kaleidoscopic approach to idiom, multiphonic singing, and rich tones.

 

Running through all Pond's projects is the belief that ritual is a catalyst for communal connection, a model for a better world to come. You can find him ruling the roost with BORBS! and investigating the web of being with Inverse & Obverse. His ongoing partnership with Thomas Patteson- Argyle Torah- is a friendship spanning the vast terrains of ethnomusicology, organology, and philosophical inquiry.  

 

An eager collaborator, he has performed alongside many fantastic musicians- Anjali Shinde (Ensemble Connect), Dan Blacksberg (Anthony Braxton Quartet, Deveykus), Mekhi Gladden (Imani Winds),  Frank Falestra (To Live and Shave in LA), Tessa Ellis, Qiujiang Levi Lu, Karen Smith, Melinda Rice (Wild Up), and DM Hotep (Sun Ra Arkestra). Aaron serves as President of People’s Music Supply, a presenting, educational, and social non-profit organization dedicated to Creative Music.
