John A. Hartmann - Composer

Welcome to the website of John A. Hartmann.
I am a composer of classical and electro-acoustic music. My interests encompass exploring theological meaning in music and the use of non-traditional forms of music in worship. While I do take very seriously the spiritual side of my compositions, I also write/create music for the sake of self-expression.

I am always open to artistic collaboration, so if you like what you hear and would like to collaborate on a project, please let me know.

I also love to ride my mountainbike. Click here to see a GPS map of my latest rides.

Look, listen, and enjoy.
