Brendon Randall-Myers is a Brooklyn-based composer and guitarist, and the co-founder of composer/performer ensemble Invisible Anatomy and artpunk band Marateck.

As a guitarist, Brendon is a member of the Glenn Branca Ensemble, the Dither Big Band, and Real Loud. He has performed with the Atlanta Symphony, Ensemble Signal, Opera Saratoga, and Magik*Magik Orchestra; at Lincoln Center Out of Doors, the Barbican Theatre in London, and the Kennedy Center;  on WNYC New Sounds Live, the Detroit Institute of Arts' Friday Night Live series, the Beijing Modern Music Festival, and the Ellnora Guitar Festival.

Brendon grew up home-schooled in rural West Virginia, and holds degrees from Pomona College and the Yale School of Music.
