Short Bio
Ben Fuhrman, lecturer in composition and music technology at Oakland University, is a composer, musician, programmer, and coffee aficionado. As a result, he writes music with a focus on technology, including acousmatic, interactive, and improvisatory works. Surprisingly, he has had pieces commissioned from a wide variety of performers and organizations and his works have been performed throughout the world. His album Concrete Oasis, an exploration of urban decay and renewal is available on Spotify and iTunes. He was also the recipient of a billboard dedicated to his music from the Arts Council of Greater Lansing – possibly the first composer in the US to receive one.
