Professional Music Composition
IDENTITY
December 1st, 2018 – Under the name Audio Arcturia, I released my first public media album of curated and privately composed music from the previous 3 years of my life. Classified as Neo-Classical, the music is centered on Orchestral and Hybrid elements blended together to have a modern sound, but with an emphasis on finding harmony and uniqueness in simplicity and uniformity. The album was an exploration of my own mental and ideological health, and as a whole became the beginning of my professional expression.
The album would be considered a media success in some respects. The title song, Identity has received over 100,000 streams on Apple Music as a playlist and radio track, as an album it received nearly 200,000 streams in total, and grossed approximately $4,000 in revenue in the first 3 months, with regards payed to the fact that a mere $150 was spent on advertising and just under $200 for production (exempting the cost of equipment and software). Below I have attached images of the Social Media presence that led to the success of my debut album.

About Me
My name is Grady Klein, and I’ve been professionally composing music since 2010, previously under the moniker “Fractal Music”. During this transitory period, I have re-branded my composition practice and myself, finalizing that transition with the release of the album Identity.
I started composing music in 2010 as a bet, or rather a spiteful attempt to prove to someone that I wasn’t bound to the expectations set before me by my family. Music is not only a hobby but an aspiration towards growth both personally and professionally.
I also work as an amateur Media and Communications Specialist, exploring and learning the means of broadening a public image for a given brand or business.
I have composed and published 5 complete albums, over 15 hours of music and worked on two indie video game projects.
In my free time I explore a hobby in photography, specifically of flowers and other forms of nature.
