Dr. Jeffrey Stolet, Director of Future Music Oregon

Jeffrey Stolet is a composer, performer and currently a Philip H. Knight Professor of Intermedia Music Technology at the University of Oregon. Stolet was born in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.  He received his early musical training from stern and serious piano teachers who exploded in rage when he corrected Mozart’s piano sonatas.  Stolet went on to complete a Ph.D. in Music at The University of Texas at Austin.

Stolet's work has been presented around the world and is available on the Newport Classic, IMG Media, Cambria, SEAMUS and ICMA labels. Presentations of Stolet's work include major electroacoustic and new media festivals such as the International Computer Music Conference, the Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States Conference, the MusicAcoustica Festival in Beijing, the Annual Electroacoustic Music Festival in Santiago de Chile, the Florida Electroacoustic Music Festival, SIGGRAPH, the transmediale International Media Art Festival, Boston Cyber Arts Festival, Cycle de concerts de Musique par ordinateur, the International Conference for New Interfaces for Musical Expression and the International Electroacoustic Music Festival "Primavera en La Habana," in Cuba.  In addition, his work has been presented in diverse venues such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Pompidou Center in Paris, and the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics at Stanford University.  Stolet’s recent work has centered on performance environments where he uses a variety of wands, sensing devices, game controllers and other magical things to control the sonic and videographic domains. In addition, Stolet has collaborated with The New Media Center at the University of Oregon to transform an original electronic music textbook into Electronic Music Interactive, an Internet deliverable, multimedia document containing motion animations, sound, and glossary that has received rave reviews in the press (Electronic Musician, Keyboard Magazine, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and Rolling Stone Magazine).
