Spring 2024 seminar: D.M.A. candidate, music 

James Parker is a sound artist, improviser, and composer based in Ithaca, New York. Parker's work seeks to find small moments of wonder and expand them into evening-length experiences accompanied by light, sound, interaction between humans and technology, and movement, blurring the lines between installation, performance, and composition. He has been a OneBeat Fellow, a Fellow at the Atlantic Center for the Arts, Can Serrat, and an ASCAP Fellow at the So Percussion Summer Institute. Parker has performed in softball fields, public parks, living rooms, and Carnegie Hall. He is a D.M.A. candidate at Cornell University.
