Jeff Kaiser is a trumpet player, music technologist and scholar living in Warrensburg, Missouri. Traditionally trained as a trumpet player in classical and jazz, Kaiser now views his traditional instrument as hybrid with new technology that he creates. Jeff gains inspiration and ideas from the intersections of experimental composition and improvisation and the timbral and formal affordances provided by combining traditional instruments with emerging technologies. The roots of his music are firmly in the experimental traditions within jazz, improvised and Western art music practices. Kaiser considers his art audio-centric, but he also works with live video, tracking and interactive technologies. His latest work explores the data-driven generation of musical content. He is an Assistant Professor in Music Technology and Composition at the University of Central Missouri. Click here for more about Jeff Kaiser.
