Heather Frasch

Heather Frasch is a composer of acoustic and electroacoustic concert music, improviser, performer-composer (flute, laptop/electronics & sonic creations), collaborator and creator of interactive sound installations and DIY instruments. Her work brings together American experimentalism with French acousmatic practices, drawing on influences from new media theory. She utilizes technology to examine notions of stillness and fragility with a current focus on: real-time interactive performance, embodiment theory, and unstable systems. By customizing a performance each set up for a new work (from handmade instruments to self 
programmed digital interfaces ) unexplored connections among sound production, sound product and performer can be investigated. Frasch holds a PhD from the University of California, Berkeley and is Professor of Music Technologies at the Norwegian 
University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway
