About the person:
Dalton Harris is a trombonist and sound artist who works with both modern and historical instruments. In his work, he explores the interfaces between art, technology and everyday life - and makes everyday objects resonate. He has premiered over 50 works, composes soundtracks for media installations and develops sound experiments between improvisation and composition.

He is currently artist-in-residence at the analog studio Het Concreet (Tilburg, NL), directs the youth ensemble SMusic21 in Bremen and regularly gives workshops, master classes and residencies - most recently at the Arts Lab of the University of New Mexico with the New Mexico Contemporary Ensemble, which he co-founded.
