Arne Eigenfeldt

Arne Eigenfeldt (born 1962) is a Canadian composer and creator of interactive and generative music systems based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Both his music and his research into intelligent systems have been presented internationally. He is currently a professor of music at Simon Fraser University.[1] He also produces electronica under the pseudonyms Raemus[2][failed verification] and loadbang.[3][failed verification]

Eigenfeldt has composed extensively for contemporary dance, especially in collaboration with choreographer Serge Bennathan.[4] His electroacoustic music is predominantly live, generated or performed in software he has written in Max/MSP. His recent research focusses on encoding knowledge into intelligent performance systems. Eigenfeldt is also known for his goalkeeping skills in the local old-timers league, playing for virtually every team in the Fraser Valley.
