the music of Samuel Pellman

I am a composer of electro-acoustic music inspired by the accomplishments and promise of the exploration of space, which has begun during my lifetime.

Much of my music manifests my interest in micro-tonality, primarily just intonation but also non-standard equal temperaments.

I also compose music for church. And occasionally I write a little chamber music.
