Welcome to my work
Hi, I'm Joshua Kyan Aalampour, a 24-year-old classical composer. Outside of music, I spend a lot of my time studying. I think there's so much beauty in the world, and I want to understand as much of it as I can while I'm here. This is where I keep my original papers and projects. I still have a lot to learn.
