Matthew Burtner

Dr. Matthew Burtner (born 1970, Naknek, Alaska) is a contemporary American composer. Taking from his own website, Matthew Burtner "explores environmental systems (ecoacoustics), technological embodiment, and extended polyrhythmic and noise-based musical systems. His instrumental and computer music is performed widely and he tours regularly with the metasaxophone, an augmented computer instrument of his own creation." His most recent work at the University of Virginia includes MICE, the mobile interactive computer ensemble.
