about

Although I’ve primarily written instrumental works over the last few years, I’m fascinated by the possibilities and impossibilities of the human voice. I don’t consider myself to be a great singer, but I nonetheless grew up singing choral music, performing in state competitions, and trying my best to fit my voice into the box of what I believed “classical” technique was. As I’ve started writing music and discovering more genres and styles, I’ve found myself wanting to make my vocal writing more nebulous, more improvisatory, and uglier. I started to think about vocal lines that I knew would be impossible to sing because of their range, their tempo, and the acrobatic feats it would take to traverse the jumps and dips of the notes.
I wrote Out Into the World as a huge, unending scream into the void of 2020, a response to the physical, spatial, and mental limitations I’ve bumped up against over the course of the year--there have been so many pent-up feelings that have been simmering, that I have not been able to put into words yet. The chamber ensemble provides a backdrop of transforming textures for the singer to respond to, to duet with, and, sometimes, to defy. I think of this line as a character singing themselves into being, finally able to become self-aware and respond to the outside world with full feeling, with anger and with joy. After several months of feeling pretty numb, this act is starting to feel a little less impossible.

Haley Olson is a composer, pianist, and vocalist based in St. Paul, MN. Her music, which encompasses spacious sound worlds and explores themes of connection and isolation, has been performed across the country.
