Following Bowery Electric's final tour in 2000 Chandler took a hiatus during which time he studied composition privately with La Monte Young and Pauline Oliveros, with Conrad Cummings at The Juilliard School, worked for Philip Glass and completed a Master of Music in Composition from Goldsmiths College.[3]

He returned in 2009 with Everybody Here Is Fine, commissioned for Make Music New York and premiered at The Bell House, Brooklyn on 21 June 2009.[4]

Recent works include Music for Rock Ensemble, commissioned for "50 Years of Minimalism", premiered by Katia and Marielle Labèque, Chandler and ensemble at Kings Place, London on 26 November 2011 [5] and The Tuning of the World, a realisation of his evolving 24-hour, 24 part, sustained tone composition, for octet, with tuned sine wave generators, released by Untitled Recordings on 1 March 2012.[6] In 2013 he formed Happy Families with his partner Lucia Rivero.[7]
