Danielle Rager is an experimental composer and computational scientist. Her solo music project {arsonist} collages raucous electronics that are algorithmically manipulated using tools like TidalCycles with orchestral textures and her own violin performances. Together these elements kindle a unique symphonic form of computer music that The Wire Magazine praised as “digital soundscapes that step into the fantastical.” Rager’s neuroscience research career drives her interest in multisensory integration and creation of real-time, immersive audio-visual experiences using openFrameworks and GLSL. She co-directs the Pittsburgh-based online radio platform and A/V event production collective Cosmic Sound with Kevin Bednar.
