CVs
Paula Matthusen is a composer, currently based in Miami (FL) and Brooklyn (NY). She writes both electroacoustic and acoustic music and realizes sound installations. Matthusen recently completed her Ph.D. at New York University - Graduate School of Arts and Science, and is now teaching music technology at Florida International University.
Juraj Kojs is a performer, composer, producer, and educator. He is a Postdoctoral Associate in Music Technology and Multimedia Art at Yale’s Department of Music. In May 2008, Kojs received his Ph.D. in Composition and Music Technologies at the University of Virginia.
About Music:
Paula Matthusen has written for diverse instrumentations, such as run-on sentence of the pavement for piano, ping-pong balls, and electronics, which Alex Ross of The New Yorker noted as being "entrancing". Her work often considers discrepancies in musical space—real, imagined, and remembered.
Juraj Kojs’ research and music areas of interest include cyberinstruments created with physical modeling synthesis, everyday objects, Slovak folk music instruments, sounds on the threshold of hearing, and interactive electroacoustic composition.
Paula Matthusen: Intersections with the Artificial
An examination with the resonance between artificial life and structured improvisation on multiple spatio-temporal realms through the concept of decentralized performance.
Juraj Kojs: Composing with cyberinstruments
How do cyberinstruments created with physical modeling techniques achieve a fluid continuum between physical and virtual realities in music? This talk will discuss how such virtual instruments facilitate the imitation, augmentation, and hybridization of existing sound sources and enable the creation of novel sound production mechanisms.
