Dr. Seth Shafer

Seth Shafer is a composer and researcher whose work hybridizes technology, new media, and art/science. His artistic practice represents musical exploration at the extreme edge of performance where he often looks for opportunities to explore ephemerality and multiplicity. This often involves performance situations that have limited or impossible rehearsal scenarios, purposeful impediments to ensemble coordination, live sight-reading, and unavoidable failure. Seth is Instructor of Music and Integrated Technology at R?o Hondo College and was previously affiliated with Cal State San Marcos and the University of Nebraska at Omaha. He holds degrees from the University of North Texas and California State University, Long Beach.
