Hello, welcome to my website and BLOG! (Full Biography) You will find lots of information here on playing contemporary flute music, composing for the flute, my compositions, useful software for Max-for-Live and spectral tuning, and my latest academic research. As a flutist, I am a member of the Cologne-based Ensemble Musikfabrik, coach for our youth ensemble Studio Musikfabrik and the Lucerne and Grafenegg Festival Academies.
As of September 2026 I will be a PhD student in the docARTES program of the Orpheus Institute and the CREATIE research group at the Royal Conservatoire in Antwerp. You can keep up with the fun on my research blog. My subject is Artificial Life (ALife) and music, focusing on performance, composition, and system design.
Here are some podcasts where you can hear what I have been up to: Podcast interview with Flute Space, FluCoMa Podcast by Jacob Hart
