Andile Khumalo Biography

Andile Khumalo is one of the most popular and richest Composer who was born on May 12, 1978 in Umlazi, Umlazi, South Africa. Andile Khumalo (born 12 May 1978) is a South African composer and a music lecturer at the University of Witwatersrand. In 2013, he completed his Doctor of Musical Arts at Columbia University under the supervision of George Lewis. There he also studied with Fabien Levy and Tristan Murail. Prior to his DMA, Khumalo studied under Marco Stroppa at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Stuttgart (HMDKS) and with Jürgen Bräuninger at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. Khumalo’s compositions are predominantly in a spectral style.

Khumalo was employed as a lecturer in music theory, composition and orchestration at the University of Witwatersrand in 2013. He has also been active in the Sterkfontein Composers Meeting and a tutor for the South African Society for Research in Music’s new music meeting.

This extraordinarily compact composition performs with aplomb the bridging of the temporal gulf between words, which can generate an entire network of associations in an instant, and music, which despite its reputation for immediacy, takes its time to construct its environment. While many composers routinely report their interest in “time”–a seeming truism–the implication of Khumalo’s composition goes beyond now-conventional disruptions and transgressions of disciplinary boundaries. Shades of Words transposes disciplinary contentions and struggles for meaning to a higher and more resonant register that asks us how to reconcile two experiences of time: one in remembrance, recollection, and fantasy, where indeterminacy and agency meet, and the other on a (now often virtual) page, operating in the interstices between immediacy and permanence.

perhaps in the case of [Khumalo], it served a young black South African composer well to not reproduce [the shift an accessible aesthetic], so as to challenge persisting notions of the African as primitive (natural, tonal) compared to the west as modern (universal, abstract). When looking at the other works by Khumalo in my possession (ISO(R) for flute, cello and piano (2004), Ossia for clarinet and cello (2010) and Schaufe(r)nster for piano (2011)), it is clear that Khumalo does not aim to always denote ‘Africa’ in his works.

In 2014, Khumalo was featured in Carnegie Hall’s Ubuntu Festival as part of a concert featuring a selection of new music composers. His music was also featured in the 2013 Festival d’Automne and the Cologne New Music Forum of the same year. Khumalo has been featured at festivals and competitions in South Africa as well.
