Jonathan Reus (US/NL) is a multi-disciplinary musician, artist, and researcher who composes music through building the technologies of music making. Trained in electronic music, mathematics and science, Reus uses idiosyncratic instruments – from wearable sound art to robotic tape machines – to create conceptual music, treating technology itself as the conceptual territory. A former researcher at the legendary STEIM [Studio for Electro-Instrumental Music], and co-founder of the instrument inventors initiative [iii], his recent work involves deep collaboration and public participation around data-set making as music, and creative interventions into the cultural and political ecosystems of voice AI.
