ASHER BLANK (@asherbl_nk | he/him | William Asher Cabaniss) is a composer of vocal and electronic music. His work connects the dots between abstract vocal chamber music, narrative song cycles, and slow-evolving, embodied dance music.
Inspired by music-makers like Steve Reich, Bobby McFerrin, and Caroline Shaw, his compositions distill a diverse collection of musical traditions into heart-centered meditations on being.
He lives and works in Los Angeles, leading One-Day Choir experiences with Gaia Music Collective in downtown LA and collaborating with singers and ensembles around the country. He is an alumnus of the University of Chicago a cappella group Voices in Your Head and the Young People’s Chorus of New York City, and has taught at the LA summer youth program A Cappella Academy.
