ReSiDeNt @ LEMUR: New Works, New Instruments, New Artists

Joshua Goldberg is an artist specializing in live video, a performer, 

a programmer and an educator. During his residency, he has been 

working on video tracking and projected video interfaces to control 

A composition graduate of Juilliard (MM) and the University of 

Illinois (DMA),Drew Krause has written over 80 works for instrumental 

and electronic media. He has been composing a full-length musical 

Taylor Kuffner is a composer, musician and multi-media artist who has 

worked with live and electronic instruments, composed for dance, 

theater and media productions and extensively studied Indonesian 

gamelan music. He has been applying his compositional experience with 

the gamelan to composing for LEMUR's robots.

We are happy to announce our second group of ReSiDeNts, who will be 

Holland Hopson is a composer, improviser, and electronic artist. 

Holland will bring Old-Time Appalachia to the League of Electronic 

Musical Urban Robots by creating new pieces for the LEMURbots and Tru 

One, his clawhammer banjo/sensor interface.

Zach Layton is a composer, improviser, curator and new media artist 

based in new york with an interest in biofeedback, generative 

algorithms, experimental music, biomimicry and contemporary 

architectural practice. His work investigates complex relationships 

and topologies created through the interaction of simple core 

elements like sine waves, minimal surfaces and kinetic visual 

patterns. He is planning to create a new work for guitar, sax, drums 

plus robots. The piece will be composed using an open score format 

encouraging improvisation among the human players and neural network 

software to encourage improvisation among the robots.

Max Lord is a percussionist who will be writing a new piece for the 

LEMUR robots in collaboration with NYC-based choreographer Ellen 

Godena. The score will integrate a live performance on the Marimba 

Lumina with robot percussion and spontaneous robot-inspired movement.

Artists from all performing and installation disciplines are 

encouraged to apply to ReSiDeNt, including musicians, composers, 

dancers, choreographers, video artists, interactive installation 

artists, performance artists, multimedia artists and others. To learn
