Andy Cavatorta (*1968, USA) uses new technologies to coerce expressive music out of fire, glass, gravity, tiny vortices, underwater acoustics, and more. His instruments explore technologically mediated emotion and opportunities to express the previously inexpressible. Cavatorta is a graduate of the MIT Media Lab and recipient of the Lincoln Prize. Recent collaborations include Björk, Gotye, and Matthew Herbert. Recent commissions include MoMA, TED, The Royal Opera House, Vice, and Stella Artois.
