An American classical composer of the modern day. His musical repertoire is mainly geared towards wind band, with some occasional orchestral pieces here and there. He's also composed a few pieces for modern dance and ballet.
His pieces tends to be rather complex with very prominent percussion parts, both pitched and unpitched, as well as lots of UncommonTime.

! Mr. Mackey's pieces exhibit the following tropes:
* CueTheSun: "Aurora Awakes" is meant to symbolize the sun rising. Another piece written later called "Hymn to a Blue Hour" has been viewed as a reversal of Aurora due to it being about a time of day twelve hours from dawn, plus the fact that both begin in a similar manner.
* UncommonTime: A good number of his pieces have been known to alternate time signatures every measure, usually between something common and something uncommon.
* SweetHomeAlabama: "Sasparilla" [sic] definitely has a Southern feel to it.

! Mr. Mackey himself exhibits the following tropes:
* ExpectingSomeoneTaller
* FoodPorn: He's a foodie, alright. Any post on his blog that isn't about music is pretty much guaranteed to include gratuitous closeups of food.
* KindheartedCatLover: He spends [[http://ostimusic.com/blog/a-year-of-kitty/ an entire blog post]] gushing about his Siamese, Loki.
