  • Lecturer
  • NEW INSTRUMENTS FOR MUSICAL EXPRESSION, TANGIBLE INTERACTION, COMPUTATIONAL CREATIVITY

Jiffer Harriman‘s work explores new approaches for interacting with sound through building digital music instruments and musical robots. He started and runs the local artist community Boulder Experiments in Art and Technology (B.E.A.T.) which hold regular meetings to share and inspire new work. He creates and collaborates on interactive sound art that includes permanent installations in Boulder and Des Moines, as well as the mobile app, Wanderers, a geolocation based sound walk for the ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Scale Model Solar System. His music instrument platform, Modular-Muse, has been used in music classes and workshops as a way to introduce new ways of controlling sound through programming and electronics.Ìý He earned his PhD from ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder's ATLAS Institute; a master’s degree in Music, Science and Technology from the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics at Stanford University; and is a 2002 graduate in Electrical Engineering from ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder’s College of Engineering.
