Golden Hornet

Golden Hornet is an adventurous Austin-based music collective led by composer Graham Reynolds, serving up genre-smashing collaborations since the early 2000s. Known for their boundary-pushing ethos, they blend classical foundations with everything from electronic beats to Tex-Mex flavors and cross-border sonic experiments. Recent releases like *Mundo en Extinción* and *MXTX: A Cross-Border Exchange* highlight their knack for fusing global sounds, while the *Marfa: A Country & Western Big Band Suite* proves they can twang with theatrical flair. Remixes like *Colmena (El Dusty Remix)* and *Impermanencia Involuntaria (Pahua Remix)* showcase their collaborative spirit, reimagining tracks with Latin electronic producers.

Beyond the stage, Golden Hornet doubles as a creative hub for quirky community projects, like their *Sound of Science* album pairing scientists and composers. Whether throwing avant-garde concerts in unexpected spaces or cooking up educational programs, they’ve become a staple of Austin’s eclectic music scene—think less rockstars, more mad scientists of melody. Their work feels like a backyard jam session where Mozart, Selena, and a mariachi robot might all grab instruments and vibe.
