About the Artist

Hunter Brown is a composer, improviser, and audio engineer based in Chicago, Illinois. His practice is focused on creating unpredictable, idiosyncratic, and unruly interactions with digital technology. In particular, he is interested in exploring the unstable material properties of digital systems though technologically mediated listening and by pushing the physical mechanisms of digital technology to the threshold of failure. In Chicago, Hunter serves as the technical director for Ensemble Dal Niente and runs the computer music focused record label Party Perfect!!! alongside collaborator Dominic Coles. He is a PhD Student at the University of Chicago.

This series is supported by the mediaThe Foundation.
