Dr. Ingebritsen is a composer, sound designer, live electronic performer, and Grammy award winning sound engineer whose work investigates the multi-dimensional aspects of sound and our human relationship to it. His work uses spatialized sound systems as musical instruments, building virtual instruments that capture human kinetic movement and performance expression to enliven and manipulate electronically generated sonic environments. He has received awards and grants from New Music USA, CEC Artslink (NEA), the Illinois Arts Council, Illinois Humanities Festival, American Composers Forum, and the Mc Knight Foundation and has presented his work at NATEAC, IMEA, AES, SEAMUS, TEI, and MOCO conferences among others. His research is the culmination of his 20 years of experience as a composer of interactive and inter-disciplinary electronic music and sound engineer to Chicago’s new music scene, and he continues to work with his many collaborators around the world to investigate the human aspect of human-machine interaction.
