Tyondai Braxton composes highly dynamic music which fuses experimental rock, modern composition, and progressive electronics. Making his solo debut in 2002 with a set of loop-based compositions titled History That Has No Effect, he received greater recognition as the frontman of Battles, a math rock band whose 2007 album Mirrored received widespread acclaim. Braxton released the orchestral solo work Central Market in 2009 before leaving Battles and focusing on commissions and collaborations, including work with the Bang on a Can All-Stars, Philip Glass, and Mouse on Mars, among others. He also issued solo electronic recordings such as 2015's HIVE1 and 2022's Telekinesis, an ambitious work for orchestra, choir, guitar, and electronics
