Brendan Glasson (b. Providence, RI) is a musician living and working in Oakland, CA.

He is interested in detail, texture, and slowness as launching points for an altered experience of duration and listening.

His 2026 electroacoustic album h i g h l a n d (Wow! signal) evokes new landscapes and worlds of possibility. His collection of work, “The Reality of People” and Other Works for Reed Organ (Debacle Records), activates resonances in reed organ, creating pulsing, throbbing music of limited gesture.

Brendan collaborates in several projects—a duo with Sally Decker, Risa with Mitch Stahlmann, and he tours playing synthesizers and guitar with Chris Cohen, Cole Pulice, and Briana Marela. He is part of an Oakland-based composer’s collective that composes and presents work. He plays in and writes songs for the band ersa.

Brendan holds an MFA from Mills College, where he worked for several years as Technical Director for the Center for Contemporary Music. He is currently a Montalvo Lucas Arts Music and Composition fellow.
