Milwaukee born, Los Angelos based Composer Joe Wong is quite the Renaissance man. Joe Wong is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, singer, and host of the prominent podcast, The Trap Set. He is especially known for his drumming, which is both meditative and energetic. Wong’s intimate knowledge of rhythm and how sounds cooperate with each other gives him an extensive ability to produce any kind of style he likes. Wong is recently lauded for his psychedelic and trance-like compositions, featuring his own vocals, and harkening back to the feeling of the Summer of Love.

Recent compositions of his have been featured on Netflix’s original shows Midnight Gospel which features his song Dreams Wash Away, and show Russian Doll.

MacGregor Salmon: Transfer student from Texas A&M to Loyola University Chicago, I am a Film and Digital Media major. Though my primary study is in film, I love all things creative and want to immerse myself in all kinds of mediums. Sharing and discovering music with others has always been an important part of my relationships with others. I grew up on funk, and the first song I can remember hearing is Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder. I still have much love for funk, but I also lean towards alternative, jazz, and anything experimental as I love to hear how new artists are changing the music scene. I find myself on Soundcloud often, looking for creative new works by independent artists. I also consider myself to be a writer, I love to write creative short stories, but I also want to use my skills as a writer to further my appreciation and understanding of music, and the artists behind their work.
