Global Performance + Sound Lab

SETH CLUETT is a composer and artist whose quiet, patient music explores the territory between the senses, with a compelling attention to perception. His work is driven by themes of ecological resilience, often expressed through materials found in nature. Cluett’s “subtle…seductive, immersive” (Artforum) work has been characterized as “rigorously focused and full of detail” (e/i) and “dramatic, powerful, and at one with nature” (The Wire). His research interests and critical writings investigate spatial audio and sensory computation. Cluett is on the composition faculty at Columbia University, where he is Director of the Computer Music Center. Since 2017 he has served as Artist-in-Residence at Nokia Bell Labs.
