Claire Arthur is an assistant professor in the Georgia Tech School of Music. She conducts an interdisciplinary research practice based in music theory, music perception and cognition, and computational musicology. Her recent research has focused on modeling musical structure from a statistical perspective, as well as examining the cognitive and behavioral correlates of those structures, especially as it relates to musical expectations and emotional responses. Her research has been published in leading conferences and journals, including Music Perception, Musicae Scientiae, ICMPC, and ISMIR. Claire received her Ph.D. in music theory and cognition from Ohio State University and was a postdoctoral fellow in music technology at McGill University.

Praised by The New York Times for her “appealingly melancholic sound” and “entertaining array of distortion effects,” Alexandria Smith is a multimedia artist, audio engineer, scholar, trumpeter, and educator who enjoys working at the intersection of all these disciplines. Her creative practice and research interests focus on building, designing, theorizing, and performing with wearable electronics that translate embodied biological data into interactive sonic and visual environments. To explore how electronic music is embodied through practice, she has been experimenting with ways to integrate biofeedback training and sensor observation into her electronic music, build controllers that go beyond keyboards and drum pads, and perform with interactive visual environments. Recent Performances include opening for Red Baraat at Tipitina’s with Marina Orchestra, David Behrman’s "Open Space with Brass" in New York City, performing in Wilfrido Terrazas’ “The Torres Cycle” in San Diego, and a curated concert of her work with biofeedback music for the nienteForte Concert Series. Her most recent audio engineering project, acclaimed as “splendidly engineered” by Downbeat Magazine, is bassist Mark Dresser’s Tines of Change where she was the tracking, mixing, and mastering engineer and co-producer.

Alexander Lerch works on creating the next generation of music software technology, enabling new ways of understanding, creating, accessing, and listening to music. His main research areas are Music Information Retrieval, Audio Content Analysis, and Intelligent Signal Processing. Lerch studied electrical engineering at the Technical University Berlin and Tonmeister (Music Production) at the University of the Arts Berlin. He received his Ph.D. on algorithmic music performance analysis from the Technical University Berlin. In 2001, he co-founded the company zplane.development – a research-driven technology provider for the music industry. At zplane, Lerch worked on the design and implementation of algorithms for music processing and music information retrieval that have been licensed to companies such as ableton, Native Instruments, and Sony. His book "An Introduction to Audio Content Analysis" was  published in 2012 by IEEE / Wiley press. In 2013, Lerch joined the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology, where he heads the Music Informatics Group.

Chris Moore currently serves as Director of Athletic Bands and Coordinator of Percussion Studies at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia, where he has been since 1995. He previously served as Assistant Director and Staff Arranger of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Band and Director of Instrumental Music at Marist School in Atlanta. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Jacksonville State University and earned a Master of Music degree from East Carolina University. He has served as percussion and arranging consultant to Wynton Marsalis on works for the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic. Moore is the Director of the Atlanta Falcons Drumline and House Band and is also the Director of the Spirit of Atlanta Drum and Bugle Corps. His research interests are in 3D audio environments, music production and performance technologies.
