As a first-generation student, Seth Cluett, associate director of Columbia’s Computer Music Center and lecturer in the music department, knows what it’s like to walk into a space and feel like it’s didn’t belong there. For this reason, Cluett has always been interested in finding ways to make the possibilities of electronic music less daunting for students. “They come to the Computer Music Center for the first time, and they see our huge historic analog synthesizers, but they’ve never touched a piece of hardware.”

Cluett, winner of the 2021-22 Lenfest Distinguished Faculty Award and artist-in-residence at Nokia Bell Labs, recently partnered with Hewlett-Packard to work on a project to reduce barriers preventing students from working with music equipment electronic. He discussed the project with Colombia Newsas well as his research and what he is teaching this semester.

Q How did the Hewlett-Packard collaboration come about?

A. I have long worked closely with Suzanne Thorpe, the current Mellon Postdoctoral Teacher in the Music Department, on a number of grants to support the design of accessible and inclusive tech studios. As a premier facility in our field and the oldest electronic and computer music research facility in the United States, the Computer Music Center tries to develop methods to reduce access control, the syndrome of impostor and the fear that people feel in spaces built for the high end. technological research.

We received a grant under the Provost’s Emerging Technologies for Teaching and Learning grant program, and Parixit Davé, Director of Emerging Technologies at CUIT, introduced us to the research leaders at HP working on the immersive technology. HP got excited about our goal of increasing opportunity and access for underrepresented groups in technology education, and we’ve been working closely with them ever since.
