Grander Gestures is a composer based in Pine Mountain Club, California.

Grander Gestures (birth name Coleman Goughary) has lived in the Los Angeles region now for 10 years, and works by day in artist relations for Ableton. By night, he composes contempoprary classical music and DJs underground club tunes biweekly on ÆFFECT LA - an internet radio show he has co-hosted since 2010.

An accomplished pianist and guitarist, Cole was born and raised in northern New York state where he spent years in various musical ensembles. In 2008, he received a B.S. Dual Major in Multimedia Studies and Music Technology from Northeastern University in Boston, where he was also the Director of Business Development and co-owner of Together Festival from 2011-2019.

These days his interests lay in composing for screen, stage, and installation. Forever an ardent supporter of climate justice, human rights and nature preservation initiatives, his work firmly sits in the romantic realm, with much emphasis on interesting harmonies and rich orchestrated textures to create slow-burn beauty and sense of place.
