Harris Wulfson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harris Wulfson is a composer, instrumentalist and software engineer living in Brooklyn, New York. His work employs algorithmic processes and gestural controllers to explore the boundary where humans encounter their machines.

He was involved in the creation of various custom software tools called Automatic Notation Generators (ANGs) developed to aid in the creation of algorithmic instrumental compositions. In August of 2007, he spoke on the topic of ANGs at the International Computer Music Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark.

For the 2006 Look and Listen Festival in New York City, Harris Wulfson presented his SensorBall, a small electronic device, slightly larger than a baseball, with pressure-sensitive controls, all wired to a laptop computer and the results channeled through loudspeakers. When pressed and rotated, the ball produces sounds that erupt apparently without pattern.[1]

Harris graduated from Amherst College and later received an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts.[2]

Harris is also an accomplished violinist, accordionist, and mandolin player.
