Brandon Hopkins (b. 1997) is a British composer based in London, England. Self-taught from the age of twelve, his work is rooted in minimalism and process-based composition, and shaped by interests in systems thinking, design, and computer science.

His music is often constructed through clearly defined rules and processes, employing repetition, addition, subtraction, mirroring, permutation, and gradual transformation as structural devices. Hopkins is interested in formal rigour without allowing structure to become an end in itself; harmony, sonority, pacing, expression, and the experience of both listening to and performing the music remain central to the compositional process.

His compositions frequently take real-world subjects as their point of departure, drawing on people, places, and things as sources of musical structure and material. These subjects often extend beyond the conceptual premise of a work, informing its underlying processes, proportions, and musical behaviour.

Hopkins’ music has been compared with that of Steve Reich, Philip Glass, John Tavener, and Arvo Pärt. His work has been performed internationally and has appeared in film, video games, installations, and advertising. Recent performances include the London Festival of Contemporary Church Music, with a forthcoming performance in Tokyo.
