Electronic Instrument Builder and Performer – Levy Lorenzo – will host an event to showcase some new instruments with a deep dive into his musical and engineering design process. There will be direct connections drawn between coding, circuit design, performance practice, and instrument identity. Dr. Lorenzo will also announce upcoming hardware and software instrument building workshops.

Born in Bucharest, Filipino-American Levy Marcel Ingles Lorenzo, Jr. works at the intersection of music, art, and technology. On an international scale, his body of work spans custom electronics design, sound engineering, instrument building, installation art, free improvisation, and classical percussion. With a primary focus on inventing new instruments, he prototypes, composes, and performs new electronic music.
