I'm currently earning a BM in Composition at the New England Conservatory in Boston, MA. I write music for chamber ensembles, orchestra and large ensembles, solo voice and vocal ensemble. A portfolio of my work can be heard at www.nellshawcohen.com
Prior to moving into classical music, I wrote, performed and recorded rock music, and recorded and released an album, Tempus (2006), that was stylistically influenced by progressive rock bands of the 1970s and indie rock/pop of the '90s and '00s. Visit www.nelljames.com to hear some of my work from 2004-07.
I have written scores for a few short documentary films, and I am interested in scoring film, TV, or video games.
