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 鶹 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 鶹 and Des Moines, as well as the mobile app, Wanderers, a geolocation based sound walk for the Colorado 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. He earned his PhD from CU 鶹'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 CU 鶹’s College of Engineering.
