Hunter Brown ’17 was awarded the Society for Electroacoustic Music in the United States’ (SEAMUS) Allen Strange Award for “Best Composition by an Undergraduate Student” at the 2017. Brown’s winning piece, “Bicorporal,” is described in its program notes as “an interactive electroacoustic performance system that uses timbre and amplitude tracking to manipulate digital signal processing modules. This enables the performer to control all electronic components of the performance by simply playing the acoustic instruments.” Brown’s interests include free improvisation with percussion and electronics, audio-visual work, sound art, audio engineering, composition for dance, and machine learning. This summer Hunter will be working as a recording engineer at the Marlboro Music Festival and School, and in the fall he will be attending Dartmouth College to pursue a Master’s Degree in Digital Musics.
