Jordan Dykstra

Jordan Dykstra (b. Iowa, USA 1985) is a Brooklyn-based composer of both chamber music and film music. An arranger, violist, and improviser as well, Dykstra’s work is drawn from a familiarity with specific conceptual, avant-garde, environmental, and graphic languages. Dykstra's compositions can be heard in the film scores of It Comes At Night, Hail Satan?, and Blow the Man Down. In addition to being a session violist for bands such as Dirty Projectors and Atlas Sound, Dykstra's chamber music compositions have been programmed in Europe (the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Greece, Norway, Iceland), Japan, Brazil, Canada, and throughout America. In 2015 Dykstra founded the small-run arts publisher Editions Verde.
