Douglas McCausland is a composer / performer, sound designer, and digital artist whose visceral and often chaotic works explore the extremes of sound, technology, and the digital medium. Described as “Tremendously powerful, dark, and sometimes terrifying…” (SEAMUS) and “Ruthlessly visceral…” (The Wire), he leverages the intersections of numerous technologies and creative practices, such as gestural performance interfaces, spatial audio, interactive systems, intermedia art, and machine-learning. Douglas is currently the Technology and Applied Composition (TAC) Studio Manager at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and he recently received his DMA in music composition from Stanford University
